This study assessed the baseline IQ scores of 317 children from Philippine' public and private schools, ages 4-7 years old, through individually administering the WPPSI-IV. Among the subtests, the children scored highest in the Processing Speed tests (Bug Search and Cancellation tests), followed by Working Memory (Picture Memory), Visual-Spatial (Block Design), and Matrix Reasoning, The children, however, scored lowest in subtests that measure verbal knowledge and comprehension (Information and Similarities). Nevertheless, looking at their Full Scale IQ scores, only .95% reached Superior, 4.1% reached High Average IQ, and 40.1% Average IQ. The rest rendered low scores with 22.4% falling within Low Average IQ, 21.8% Borderline IQ, and 5.0% Extremely Low IQ. Significant differences among the subtests were also observed, particularly between the nonverbal and verbal tests. To give context to the scores in Verbal tests (Information and Similarities), the team did a qualitatively study on the responses of the children, by systematically taking note and coding their wrong answers in these subtests. The thematic analysis revealed the gaps in educational system and the value of culture, context, and daily conversations and experiences in the way the children understood and responded to verbal questions. These studies showed the possible concerns and potential problems on how the Philippine educational system teaches concepts to children. Further, this study discussed some recommendations in order to help children to have a more meaningful learning and integration of knowledge and concepts..
