This study aimed to determine the instructional supervision practices of school heads and their relationship with teacher performance at Dapitan City National High School during the School Year 2026–2027. The study employed a survey descriptive-correlational research design involving 124 respondents. Data were analyzed using weighted mean, standard deviation, and Spearman rank-order correlation coefficient at the 0.05 level of significance. Instructional supervision practices were Very Much Practices with Average Weighted Value (AWV) of 3.66 with Standard Deviation (SD) of 0.40, teachers’ guidance (AWV = 3.62, SD = 0.44), teachers’ support (AWV = 3.65, SD = 0.42), and teachers’ performance assessment (AWV = 3.70, SD = 0.39). Teacher performance was Outstanding (AWV = 4.81), with 101 (81.5%) rated Outstanding and 23 (18.5%) rated Very Satisfactory. A low positive and significant relationship was found between instructional supervision practices and teacher performance (rho = 0.201, p = 0.025). The study concludes that stronger instructional supervision tends to be associated with higher teacher performance, although the relationship is low. It is recommended that DepEd Officials and School Heads sustain and strengthen instructional supervision through professional development, coaching, mentoring, classroom observation, constructive feedback, and technical assistance; master teachers provide continuing instructional support; and teachers actively participate in professional development activities to sustain their high performance. Future researchers could examine other factors associated with teacher performance and replicate the study in broader educational settings.
