In S.Y. 2019-2020, it can be seen that the school has a total of 49 severely wasted learners and 338 wasted learners. The Grade 8 has the most number of severely wasted having 16 and 67 wasted respectively. This is followed by Grade 7 that has 8 severely wasted and 64 wasted. Furthermore, the severely wasted is 1.55% of the population of the school and 10.72% are wasted. The result may be small in terms of percentage in a population of 3,154 for the S.Y. 2019-2020.

Given the baseline data of the students’ nutritional health status (S.Y. 2022-2023) at the beginning of the school year, the school generally aims to decrease the number of learners who have wasted and severely wasted nutritional status in order to perform well in academic and extra-curricular activities and to cope with various challenges in life. The school will implement programs and activities that aim to improve their health status like feeding program and provide health services
