This study evaluated the management operations of Saint Francis Institute, Learning and Business High School Inc. (SFILBHSI), tagged in this research as Saint Francis Schools System. Based on the results, a school development plan was designed for its improvement. This paper used descriptive-evaluative research method with the application of Daniel Stufflebeam’s CIPP evaluation model. Self-made questionnaires, unstructured interviews which were conducted by an outside interviewer, documentary analysis and personal observations were utilized in gathering the data. The data came primarily from eight (8) SFILBHSI schools situated in the municipalities of Bacoor and Imus, in the province of Cavite. The stakeholders which served as the respondents included its administrators, teachers, non-teaching staff, high school students and their parents. The study revealed that the administrators, teachers and nonteaching staff assessed the schools’ key areas as outstanding such as the VMGO, instruction, supervision and administration, student, and community outreach services; while very satisfactory for support and auxiliary, research and development, and linkage management. On the other hand, the students and their parents assessed all the key areas as very satisfactory with the exception of the support and auxiliary which was assessed as satisfactory. Moreover, other school components such as its financial status, curriculum, and physical plant and facilities were observed and assessed as adequate. With this, the study, thereby, recommends that its results should be disseminated to the founders/owners of SFILBHSI for them to respond and address the schools’ issues and concerns. In addition, continuous monitoring should be conducted on the key areas which were identified as outstanding to sustain and maintain the good service it provides to the stakeholders, while those which were assessed as satisfactory must be prioritized and given adequate attention for students’ satisfaction. Moreover, the coaching and mentoring styles of teachers should be enhanced to improve students’ performance as they compete in academic contests held outside the school. Furthermore, review classes for nationwide assessments should also be extended. The reinforcement of students’ discipline and commitment should be adhered for the improvement of the school’s performance. With regard to the School Improvement Plan, it should be utilized by the management, school officials and the owners in preparation for future evaluation or accreditation of the school. Once it is applied and implemented, it should be constantly monitored and supervised. On the other hand, a similar research study may be conducted in the future for further development of a plan as an output.
