Abstract
This study focused on determining the level of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) skills of Grade 11 Senior High School students at Lorenzo S. Sarmiento Sr. National High School. The main purpose of the study was to assess respondents' levels of ICT skills in maintenance, word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, database, browser, and e-communication, as well as their demographic profile in terms of sex, age, and strand. A descriptive quantitative research design was used in this study, involving the 199 Grade 11 students as respondents. Data were gathered through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using statistical tools such as frequency, percentage, and mean. The findings show that the majority of the respondents were female, mostly aged 15–16 years, and from the HUMSS strand. Results further indicated that the overall level of ICT skills among the respondents was high, with e-communication obtaining the highest mean score, followed by maintenance, browser, presentation, word processing, spreadsheet, and database skills. These findings suggest that the students have the required ICT skills for academic tasks and digital communication. The study recommends continuing to enhance ICT-related programs to further develop students’ technological skills.
