The study analyzed the relationship between teachers’ job satisfaction and academic achievement in the elementary schools in Leyte Division, Philippines. The study adopted a descriptive research design. It utilized the job satisfaction survey questionnaire and the National Achievement Test results. The statistical tools included the weighted mean and Pearson correlation coefficient. It was revealed that teachers were satisfied with their job assignments. Whereas, academic achievement showed an average mean percentage score (MPS), indicating an achievement that is moving towards mastery. Moreover, it was disclosed that there was no significant relationship between teachers’ job satisfaction and school academic achievement. To enhance the level of teachers’ job satisfaction and further improve school academic achievement, school administrators may consider strategic initiatives that support teachers’ career development. Thus, it is suggested that school heads should look into the personal and professional well-being of teachers. Future studies, including additional variables such as teachers’ information and communication technology (ICT) literacy skills and ICT facilities, should correlate it with school achievement.
