Development of a Web-Based Student Portal System for Dasol Catholic School: Enhancing Accessibility and Academic Management

The management of academic records at Dasol Catholic School (DCS) historically relied on manual, paper-based processes, leading to administrative inefficiencies, data transcription errors, and risks of physical record degradation. This study aimed to develop and implement a Web-Based Student Portal System to modernize the school’s academic management by automating enrollment, grade management, and information dissemination. Guided by the Input-Process-Output (IPO) model, the researchers utilized the Agile methodology—specifically through planning, user design, development, testing, and deployment phases—to create a system featuring modules for online registration, teacher grading, and student profile management. The researchers chose the Laravel framework for its security features. It runs on a PHP and SQL stack, ensuring the portal is both fast and stable. The quantitative aspect of the research involved a systematic evaluation of the portal's quality based on the ISO 25010 software quality standards. A total of 50 stakeholders, including the principal, registrar, teachers, and parents/students, participated in the evaluation using a five-point Likert scale. Results demonstrated a high level of system acceptance, yielding an overall weighted mean of 4.38, interpreted as "Strongly Agree". Notably, Functional Suitability emerged as the highest-rated dimension at 4.49, suggesting that the tailored modules successfully addressed the specific administrative requirements of the institution. The study concluded that the web-based portal significantly improves data integrity and accessibility compared to traditional manual methods. By providing a centralized digital platform, the system minimizes human error in grade computation and streamlines the enrollment workflow, effectively bridging the gap between traditional school administration and modern technological standards for small-scale educational institutions
