This study aims to find out the correlation between the students' and administrators' perception of teachers in the secondary level of the Immaculate Heart of Mary College in the schoolyear 1973-74. The Purdue Rating Scale for Instructors was the instrument used in this study. The subjects consisted of 582 high school students, 22 teachers, and 7 administrators. The factors considered were the administrators' and students' perception, year level of students, students' I.Q., and subject assignment of teachers. The relationship between the administrators' and students' perception was obtained by comparing their ratings as ranked using the Spearman Rank Difference Correlation Method. Findings of this study showed that there was a significant difference between the administrators' and students' perception of the qualities of an effective teacher. The secondary students at IHMC perceived the effective teacher as considerate, knowledgeable, and has a liberal attitude. The administrators perceived the effective teacher largely in terms of their mastery of subject matter and ability to teach and motivate students to learn. It was also found that there was no significant difference in the perception of the qualities of an effective teacher among the different year levels of high school students. Bright and dull students perceived their teachers similarly, and the subject assignments of teachers, whether academic or non-academic, was not a factor which significantly affected the students' perception of the qualities of an effective teacher.
