The study assessed the level of School-Based Management (SBM) practice at Muntinlupa National High School (MNHS) and identified Priority Improvement Areas (PIAs) and challenges affecting its implementation across four SBM dimensions: Leadership and Governance, Curriculum and Learning, Accountability and Continuous Improvement, and Management of Resources. Using a descriptive-evaluative design, data were collected from 202 SBM implementers through frequency counts, percentages, mean scores, and correlation analysis. Results showed that MNHS achieved an Advanced level in Leadership and Governance and Accountability and Continuous Improvement, while Curriculum and Learning and Management of Resources remained at the Maturing level. Challenges significantly influenced SBM implementation, correlating strongly with implementers' profiles. Based on findings, an SBM Enhancement Plan was developed, detailing targeted strategies, programs, and activities to address identified challenges and improve compliance with implementation standards. The study recommends integrating the plan into the school improvement plan for a holistic approach to sustained improvement.
