Abstract

This quantitative study examines the relationship between travel time duration and academic performance among Grade 7-10 students at NEUST San Isidro Campus Laboratory Highschool (SY 2023-2024). Using descriptive-correlational design and Pearson correlation analysis, results show a significant negative relationship between travel time and 1st quarter (r = -.483, p = .000) and 2nd quarter GWA (r = -.400, p = .000). Factors like transportation mode, traffic, distance, and wake-up time influenced travel duration, though grade level and age showed no significant impact. Students maintained averages of 87-89, but prolonged travel time negatively affected performance, suggesting that longer commutes hinder academic success.
