The stakeholders’ engagement was assessed through the verbal descriptions derived from the mean ranges calculated by (5-1=4) then the difference is divided by four (4) as the greatest value of the scale (4÷5= 0.8). Number one (1) which is the least value of the scale was added. The significant relationship between the level of community engagement and school performance was identified via Pearson r.
