Abstract: Selecting a suitable track is critical for a student who has yet to decide what academic strand to follow in his/her senior high school year. The main goal of the study was to look at how personal interest, family influence, job opportunities, financial condition, and peer pressure affected grade 10 decisions when choosing an academic strand in order to better prepare them for senior high school coursework. The researcher employed the descriptive and inferential research design to investigate the objectives and generate a new understanding of the data collected. The study involved one hundred seventeen (117) grade 10 students enrolled at Saint John Berchman High School Incorporated during SY 2022-2023. Additionally, the researcher employed an online survey questionnaire as a primary tool to gather and compile information based on the five factors, using a 4-point Likert scale for each indication and examining the samples’ responses. The result showed that there is a significant difference between the friends/peers influence factor when group by sex and age. Moreover, there is no significant difference between the five factors when group by the grade 10 students’ chosen strands.
