Abstract: This study was conducted to know the level of quantitative research capability of Grade 12 students in the Municipality of Murcia. Moreover, this study also aimed to determine what areas in research did the students find it easy and difficult to do and how they were able to survive it. A mixed method research design was adopted in this study, a stratified random sampling was used to elicit information from the 241 respondents out of 608 Grade 12 students in the three-pioneer public secondary senior high school implementers in the Municipality of Murcia.
