Abstract: This study evaluated the organizational effectiveness and change readiness of schools according to administrator and teacher perceptions. The specific aims were to identify how administrators and teachers rated the significant organizational areas such as tasks, structure, people relationships, motivation, support, management leadership, attitude towards change, and performance. The study also sought to identify significant differences in administrators' and teachers' perceptions towards organizational effectiveness as well as between their ratings of the organizations' change readiness. Data were collected using a survey and analyzed using descriptive statistics and t-tests. The findings were that the two groups rated the significant organizational areas as moderately effective, with positive responses from the teachers compared to the administrators. Significant differences in people relationships and performance were confirmed. Both groups reported moderate change readiness, where administrators gave top priority to top management support. Overall, there were no differences in their ratings of change readiness. These findings emphasize the need for collaborative effort and proactive leadership to improve organizational effectiveness and change readiness in elementary schools. Recommendations for the future include improving administrators’ teacher collaboration, modernizing teaching practices, establishing teacher motivation, improving community involvement, and embracing proactive leadership for improvement and adaptability to changing educational demands.
