Today, stress is growing day by day among students with single-parents, yet the basic concepts to minimalize, endure, and master the stress are often ignored.  In many places around the world, students experience significant academic distress, and being unaware of how to deal with it is a serious concern, which worsens the school-setting situation. Education and social support systems are prime movers in developing and enriching students, particularly in adopting appropriate coping strategies. Hence, this paper describes the level of academic stress and the extent of coping strategies of high school students with single-parents in a Catholic School in Antique during the school year 2019-2020.  Likewise, it explores the relationship existing between the students' demographics and their academic stress and coping strategies.

Academic stress is a certain level of academic-related demands that exceed the students' adaptive capabilities. Related to this is coping strategies, which is a mindful effort to endure the stress. Thus, the descriptive-correlational research determined the associations among the demographic variables, the level of academic stress, and the extent of coping strategies. Academic Stress Scale and COPE Inventory standardized tests, were used among sixty-seven Filipino high school students with single-parents of a Catholic school. The data were statistically analyzed using Mean, Standard Deviation, Pearson r, and Spearman rank correlation. As a whole, their academic stress is low with no significant relationship between academic level and single-parents' educational level.  However, a moderate level of academic stress was found with a significant relationship between sex and family monthly income. The overall coping strategies is great with a significant relationship between family monthly income. However, there is no significant relationship between coping strategies and academic level, sex, and single-parents' educational level.

School adjustment and coping strategies are vital elements of students' lives because they help them adapt and function well to their environment, thereby preventing countless mental health problems. However, despite the robust information about the importance and benefits of adaptability or adjusting well to one's environment, many students still encounter school adjustment problems. Luckily, students often resort to various coping strategies in order to deal with their problems effectively. Hence, the paper determined the degree of school adjustment problems and the extent of coping strategies of senior high school students of a Diocesan Catholic school in Antique during the School Year 2019-2020. Likewise, it determines the correlation between school adjustment problems and students' coping strategies and whether good coping strategies predict school adjustment problems.

In an investigation of the problems and coping strategies of Australian high school students, comparisons were made between the responses of 1664 students enrolled in Years 8 to 12 in 1988,1620 students enrolled in the same year levels in 1993, and 178 high school teachers in 1993. The subjects completed the High School Stressors Scale (Burnett & Fanshawe, 1997) and the Adolescent Coping Strategies Scale (Burnett & Fanshawe, 1996). Data analyses using MANOVAs, ANOVAs, and t-tests revealed close similarities between the responses of the 1993 students and those of the 1988 students, but a considerable amount of incongruence between the responses of the students and those of the teachers. In particular, the teachers generally seemed to regard their students' problems as being more serious than was acknowledged by the students, and the teachers generally seemed to project a less positive view of adolescents' coping strategies than did the students. These discrepancies are discussed in terms of the different orientations that students and teachers bring to the student-teacher relationship. It is suggested that teachers and counsellors need to take cognisance of the differences between adolescents' perspectives and their own if they are going to be effective in assisting students to develop positive coping strategies and in creating more positive learning environments.
