About this data
Notes on DepEd's figures
- One or more resources (teachers, rooms, seats or toilets) are far from what is typical for a school this size.
- A figure changed unusually much between SY 2023-24 and SY 2024-25.
- The mix of learners, teachers, rooms, seats and toilets is unusual compared with similar schools.
