This is descriptive-correlational research which involved the 180 Grade 12 ABM students in a vocational high school in Marilao District. The academic performance, as secondary data, was requested from the permanent records of the subject teachers while the entrepreneurial attitude as primary data was gathered through the use of modified research instrument. The data were encoded, analyzed and interpreted using statistical tools. Based on the findings, the academic performance of the students was very satisfactory thatnone among them did not meet the expectations or failed in the subject and they generally disagree on the items included in the three components of entrepreneurship attitude; namely, cognitive, affective and behavioral. It also revealed that there is no significant relationship between the entrepreneurial attitude and academic performance of the students is accepted. It means that the degree of agreement of the students on the items in the entrepreneurial attitude scale is not related to the degree of academic performance of the students. It is recommended that the stakeholders of the school provide the technical support and meaningful entrepreneurial activities not only to sustain the very satisfactory academic performance of the students but also to make them appreciate the subject that will increase their level of motivation, interest and self-internalizations and actualizations in doing business of their own.
