Maximizing Utilization of the National Achievement Tests (NAT) Results to Raise the Achievement Levels in Low Performing Schools

The Department of Education (DepEd) through the National Education Testing and Research Center (NETRC) conducts annually the National Achievement Tests (NAT) to specified grade/year levels for system-wide assessment to determine the quality of learning outcomes.
The assessment results are conveyed to data users in terms of Mean Percentage Scores (MPS) and its descriptive equivalent for data utilization (e.g. intervention, remedial instruction, etc.) by school, division, regional and national levels. Specified below is the mastery/achievement level:

Mastery/Achievement Level
MPSDescriptive Equivalent
96-100%Mastered
86-95%Closely Approximinating Mastery
66-85%Moving Towards Mastery
35-65%Average
15-34%Low
5-14%Very Low
0-4%Absolutely No Mastery

As derived from the 2012 NAT results, a sizeable number of schools were categorized in the High Performing Schools (HPS) with an MPS of 86% and above, and in the Low Performing Schools with an MPS of 34% and below. The list of these schools which are grouped by division level will be provided by the NETRC.

Benchmarking on the best practices can be generated from the High Performing Schools which may form part of the intervention packages to be designed and provided to improve the performance of Low Performing Schools (LPS). Maximizing these identified strategies needs the concerted efforts of the concerned at the school and division levels.
