 in the Philippines. It also determines the correlation between the number of examinees and performance ratings of each school and the statistical differences of the average ratings when the schools are grouped according to location and type of school. The study is a quantitative research that uses statistical graphs and tests in the analysis. Data were gathered from the website of the Professional Regulation Commission. The subject schools are the top ten customs schools based on the average passing rates on CBLE from 2011 to 2017, and provided that the school has an average of at least ten first-time examinees and participated with at least five first-time examinees in each examination. Results show that the performance trends of the ten schools are generally fluctuating, except for the performance of top school in South Luzon which tends to be decreasing and of the other two South Luzon schools which tend to be increasing. Moreover, the performance gaps among the schools also tend to be decreasing. Results further reveal that there is generally no significant correlation between number of first-time examines and school’s passing rates except for the top South Luzon school where correlation test shows significant negative relationship. Tests of differences also show that there is generally no significant difference on the schools’ performances when grouped according to location and according to type, except in the 2011 where the average passing rates of government schools is significantly higher than the average passing rates of private schools.&picture=http://www.aascit.org/aascit/decorators/img/journal/931.jpg)
