The research investigates the relationship between science academic performance and factors such as sex, school type, curriculum, and residence location, assessing their impact on environmentally responsible behavior development.The study uses a quantitative research design, collecting data from 400Junior High students in purposive sampling through surveys and academic performance analysis. Findings show students display moderate environmentally responsible behavior, with factors like sex, curriculum, school type, and residence location significantly impacting science performance and environmentally responsible actions.In the Philippines context, the study emphasizes the K to 12 curriculum's effectiveness in promoting science performance and environmentally responsible behavior among Filipino students. It highlights the importance of addressing science education disparities based on school type, residence location, and the need for targeted support and resource allocation.The findings offer valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and stakeholders to design and implement targeted interventions fostering environmental awareness, academic achievement, and environmentally responsible behavior in Junior High students, ultimately promoting environmental sustainability and responsible actions.
