Abstract	This study delves into the status of the academic performance of student-athletes of University of Baguio High School (UBHS) aiming to evaluate the correlation between academic performance and athletic participation; analyze the extent of the effect of athletic participation in events to their academic performance; identify the support given to them by the Athletics Office, UB High School and other UB offices to help them in their academics; and, provide recommendations to further improve their academic performance. Utilizing the descriptive survey method, data was collected through survey questionnaires formatted in Google form and analyzed to understand the academic performance of UBHS student-athletes and explore potential factors influencing their performance. A total of 95 responded to the study among the 154 student-athletes enrolled in the University of Baguio High School for the academic year 2022-2023 who were surveyed. Findings of this study reveal that the academic performance of the participants showed a very satisfactory to outstanding grade and there is no correlation between academic performance and athletic participation. Furthermore, the participants identified that athletic participation enhances their self-confidence, leading to increased engagement in classroom activities. It further propels them to graduate high school, pursue college education, potentially engage in sports at the collegiate level, and refine their time management abilities. Proper scheduling of training, time given to do their assignments, consideration, help, motivation and advice both from their coaches and teachers and counseling were the support identified by the participants given to them by the academic community. Based on these findings, it is recommended that the Athletics Office, UBHS faculty, and the UBHS Principal’s Office retain their practices in supporting the student-athletes but should be enhanced to help them excel both in academics and sports.
