The study determined the extent of the special science curriculum implementation in public secondary schools in the Division of Rizal for the school year 2022-2023. This research employed a descriptive survey design to determine the assessment of the teachers and school heads on the program's implementation. The findings revealed a commendable adherence to guidelines in admission and retention processes, garnering high ratings from respondents. However, the lower rating for student transfers from regular to SSC classes signals a need for enhancement. Regarding Curriculum and Instruction, there is a solid commitment to critical thinking and 21st-century skills; however, a lower rating for scientific research suggests a targeted need for improvement. For Learning Resources and Facilities, concerns arise regarding the science laboratory's functionality and the library's overall state.Regarding Faculty Development, the mean is lower for providing opportunities for training and seminars on research and advanced subjects, suggesting a need for improvement. There is no significant difference between the perceptions of the two groups of respondents regarding the extent of implementation of the Special Science Curriculum in terms of the different aspects. In general, teachers and school heads perceive the overall implementation of the Special Science Curriculum as a High Extent.
