Abstract
Education is one of humans' basic necessities, which is an important tool for the attainment of their goal of attaining better human capital. Education is a good investment for the future thus attaining high levels of achievement in education is important. As seen in the 2009 National Achievement Test results which tells us the effectiveness of the system of education, averages of the public high schools within the National Capital Region lie below the 50 percent mark. In the school year 2009-2010, out of the 232 public schools in the Philippines only 32 made it above the 70% mark, all of which are public science high schools. As seen in the results of the study, there is a certain disparity among public science and public regular high schools. Among the significant school factors, student - teacher ratio and the promotion rate of students yield the most effect to the NAT results. What was unusual in our model was that the budget per student which was a clear and obvious way of increasing the NAT yielded negative relationship with NAT. There was a certain anomaly in the distribution of the budget. What's seen in paper in the budget sector may not be properly implemented.
