Schools may keep on organizing community forums to encourage the school community about the significant relationship between school performance and the future of the learners. To accomplish the highest level of school performance, school personnel may continue to have open communication, goal-oriented decisions, and better services. Parents and alumni may continue to provide resources, commitment, and support for more projects and achievement that seek to enhance school performance and the academic achievement of learners. And lastly, in order to continue working toward achieving the highest performance level possible for the school, future researchers may conduct a study about school performance and shared responsibilities.
