Abstract: This study investigates the factors contributing to the success of a school-based mentoring program and its impact on the academic performance of at-risk students at Pedro E. Candido Memorial National High School. The research involved 50 students, predominantly male (64%), with most aged 16-18 (42%) and in the 12th grade (22%). The mentoring program's effectiveness was assessed through school, mentor, and parental involvement factors. Findings indicated strong support from school resources and mentors, with a positive overall perception of the program. However, the availability of mentoring sessions and comfort in discussing academic challenges were areas needing improvement. Parental involvement showed a significant positive correlation with academic performance, emphasizing the critical role of family support in student success. Most students achieved "Fairly Satisfactory" grades (66%), with no students reaching "Outstanding" or "Very Satisfactory" levels, indicating room for academic improvement. The study concludes that while school and mentor support is beneficial, enhancing family engagement and optimizing mentoring sessions are essential for better academic outcomes for at-risk students.
