From the results gathered, the following conclusions were drawn: The study shows a difference between the students academic performance, thus rejecting the hypothesis. It also shows an effect of school-based feeding program implementation on students learning outcomes, thus rejecting the hypothesis. In conclusion, school-based feeding programs plays a crucial role in boosting students learning outcomes and academic performance. Based on the conclusion above the following recommendations were drawn: The teacher may encourage collaboration with parents and community organizations. The school heads and program coordinators may continuously evaluate the effectiveness of the program through data collection and analysis.
