    This study aims to explore the determinants of senior high school (SHS) track preference among grade 10 students in the Philippines using a mixed-method approach. A total of 179 respondents from two private and four public schools in the division of Toledo City were selected through stratified random sampling. The study utilized an online questionnaire to gather quantitative data. The study found that the most significant factors influencing SHS track preference were academic performance, career prospects, personal interests, and parental influence. Students who performed well academically tended to choose the academic track, while those who struggled academically were more likely to choose the technical-vocational-livelihood (TVL) track. Career prospects played a crucial role in students' decision-making, as they were more likely to choose tracks that they believed would lead to better job opportunities. Personal interests and skills also influenced track preferences, with students opting for tracks that aligned with their hobbies and talents. Finally, parental influence played a vital role in students' decision-making, as parents often encouraged their children to pursue specific tracks. The study provides insights into the factors influencing SHS track preference among grade 10 students in the Philippines. The findings suggest that academic performance, career prospects, personal interests, and parental influence are critical factors in students' decision-making. The study's results could inform policy and program development aimed at improving SHS education and helping students make informed decisions about their future education and career paths
