The respondents of the study were 495 students which is 50 percent of the total population of grade 10 students in the said school.

The perceived extent of the factors influencing the Grade 10 students in their senior high school track preferences with respect to personal, family, peer, and school was found to be Much; however, with respect to community the extent is found to be Moderate. The null hypothesis was rejected for the significant difference on the perception of the students on the extent of the factors affecting their track preferences in terms of their sex, sibling position, monthly family income and fathers’ educational attainment. Meanwhile, the null hypothesis was accepted for the significant difference on the perception of the students on the extent of the factors affecting their track preferences in terms of their mothers’ educational attainment.
