interests, and experiences, among other factors, and it was through their educational
experiences that these students determined what they wanted to accomplish in their
future careers. (Quinter et. al., 2011). A wise decision can impact ones life especially
if it's their own career. According to Boyer (1987), in taking a course, one of the life's
major decision is being made. A lot of time, money, and effort will be involved. The
shape and excellence of the student's life may rest on the result.

Career choices for the students were affected by various factors including grades, age,
personal interests, experiences, etc. and through their learning experiences that these
students decide what they would want to do in relation to their future careers (Edward

and through their learning experiences that these students decide what they would
want to do in relation to their future careers (Edward & Quinter, 2011). Furthermore,
the senior high school students found out various factors that also influences their
considerations and future job opportunities (Ouano, Delatorre, Japitan & Moneva,
2019). The career success of an individual can be best realized if his guide in
choosing the course is based on the right career choice that fits his ability, personality,
background and intellect (Braza & Guillo, 2015). Also, findings have shown that the
career decision-making of the students is highly affected by their personal factors (Su,
Chang, Wu & Liao, 2016). But findings have shown that many students make choices
based on what they like rather than what is required in the labor market (Titan,

choose a strand based on I wanted to become.” Which has the mean of 3.85 and also
interpreted as “high”.

lambda in determining their association. The result shows that the financial status of
students in school alone is inclined to self-choice in the selection of a strand but not
with parental and peers influence in selecting a strand. In other words, parents and
influences of parents and peers are noticeable. Tortor et.al (2020). The “Friends in

or contexts that are being investigated. With these concerns, additional researches are
necessary in this field to provide a different perspective and reference point, so that a
better understanding can be gained about the factors influencing students’ SHS strand
selection and in this case, the very specific aspect of strand selection, that is academic
performance.

Among those factors, we get the most dominant factor which is the Family
Background which has the r= 0.013 and P-value= 0.81, which implies that there is no
any significant relationship between this factor and academic performance therefore,
we decided to accept the null hypothesis. The findings of the study showed that

explaining the academic performance of students, but the type of family, either
