——This study investigated the implementation of the Revised School-Based Management System (SBMS) in selected public elementary schools in the Division of Urdaneta City, Philippines. It also studied the relationship between SBMS implementation and stakeholder profile variables and identified areas for improvement in school governance practices. The research used a descriptive-correlational design with 159 stakeholder respondents, including school heads, teachers, PTA officers, and barangay/community leaders. Data was gathered using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using frequency and percentage distributions, weighted mean, t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson product-moment correlation. Findings revealed that the Revised SBMS was generally well implemented with an overall weighted mean of 4.420. Accountability scored the highest among its dimensions, reflecting strong transparency and reporting practices. In contrast, decision-making and continuous improvement were rated relatively low, indicating a need to strengthen participatory governance and data-driven school improvement systems. Further results showed significant differences in SBMS implementation across the highest educational attainment, stakeholder role, years of experience, and relevant training. Age, on the other hand, was not significantly different. Additionally, SBMS implementation was significantly associated with most profile variables, indicating that stakeholder characteristics influence perceptions and involvement in school-based management practices. Based on these results, a structured capacity-building and enhancement training program was proposed to strengthen participatory decision-making, continuous improvement mechanisms, and stakeholders’ competencies in the implementation of SBMS.
