—— This study primarily sought to determine the relationship with academic performance of Grade 7 students in Science during the School Year 2024-2025 at Cluster 7 of the Division of Pampanga towards an academic persistence improvement plan. To achieve its primary objective, the study used a quantitative research methodology. The researcher employed a descriptivecorrelational strategy among the various quantitative approaches. There were 231 Grade 7students who were randomly selected as respondents. Questionnaire and documentary analysis were used to gather data for this study. Weighted mean, frequency and percentage were utilized for interpretation. Results tell that Grade 7 students rated academic persistence as always in terms of long term perspective purposes (M=3.39), current purposes pursuing (M=3.45) and recurrence of unattained purpose (M=3.46). Also, 34.20% of the students reached a satisfactory performance, 23.81% were very satisfactory, 22.08% were outstanding in their academic performance in Science. In addition, 18.61% of them were fairly satisfactory and 1.30% were on did not meet expectations. Furthermore, the relationship between academic persistence and academic performance in Science listed an r value of 0. 0.6537and p value of 0.0068. Lastly, an academic persistence improvement plan is proposed based on the findings of the study. Keywords: academic persistence, academic performance, Science, correlational
