I. ABSTRACT

A student portal is an online portal through which students can access important information
from the school's website. Even though it was implemented in schools, no recent researchers
have examined the student portal's effectiveness. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness
of the Olivarez College Tagaytay student portal as an online information dissemination tool for
senior high school students in terms of functionality, usability, reliability, and efficiency. The
researchers used a quantitative descriptive research design to describe the effectiveness in 323
Olivarez College of Tagaytay Senior High School students who were chosen using the stratified
sampling technique and Slovin's Formula. The researchers used a Likert - type adapted -
modified questionnaire from Kotze et al. (2010) in gathering the needed data and utilized
different statistical treatments such as frequency and percentage for the demographic profile of
the respondents while the mean score in analyzing and interpreting the collected data from the
survey questionnaire. This study revealed that the student portal of the Olivarez College
Tagaytay is an effective online information dissemination tool for senior high school students in
terms of functionality, usability, reliability and efficiency.. Among the four features, usability is
regarded as the most effective and reliability as the least. This implies that the students find it
easy to navigate the students portal. It is ussr-friendly. However, this is also regarded as not
