In the SY 2015-2016, locally conducted research ascertained the demographic profiles of
students and other factors which affected the absenteeism and dropout rates in a certain high
school (Orcales & Lango, 2016).
Also, the impact of the school intervention program to the key performance indicators of the
school was also analyzed this SY 2018-2019. It surfaced in the study that the Enhanced Home
Visitation and Revitalized Remediation Program (EHV-RRP) of the school is being implemented well.
It came out even in the research findings that both the teachers and the students-at-risk of
dropping out have positive views and experiences about the enhanced school program. (Orcales, et
al., 2018).
The proponents have been associating the problem on students’ absences on the findings of De
Guzman, et al. (2011) wherein family factors such as low educational attainment, low socio-
economic status, lack of parental supervision on the child’s recreational activity, lack of parental
 emotional and psychological support on the child’s needs, and parents’ low level of expectation on
the child’s success made the students at-risk of dropping out in their school.
