Abstract
This study explores the impact of the Grade Viewer Application on enhancing parental engagement at Taganaan National High School. The Grade Viewer Application is a digital platform that provides real-time access to students' academic progress, attendance, and assignments, fostering seamless communication between parents, teachers, and students. Through a comprehensive evaluation based on usability, efficiency, accuracy, security, and maintainability, the application's effectiveness in promoting parental involvement is assessed. Findings indicate that the Grade Viewer Application positively influences parental engagement, empowering parents to be more informed about their child's academic journey and facilitating timely communication with teachers. While the application demonstrates commendable usability, efficiency, and security, suggestions for enhancing maintainability through better documentation are identified. Overall, the Grade Viewer Application serves as a valuable tool in fostering a collaborative and supportive educational environment at High School, strengthening the partnership between home and school to support students' academic success and holistic development.
