This paper aimed to determine the knowledge on ethical behavior of junior high school students. The descriptive type of research and the stratified random sampling were employed. There were 209 respondents drawn from Junior High School (JHS) students of San Francisco B National High School, Lopez, Quezon during the School Year 2018 – 2019. Collection of data was accomplished through survey questionnaire. The statistical treatment used are frequency, percentage, ranking, weighted mean and Chi-square. The result of the study revealed that most of the respondents were ages 13 – 14, female, 85% to 89% general average (previous grade), and wearing improper uniform as major school offense committed, the knowledge on ethical behavior of JHS students obtained a composite mean of 3.84 and interpreted as “sufficient”, age and sex showed significant relationship with the knowledge on ethical behavior of the respondents, this led to the rejection of the null hypothesis. Based on the results, the self-assessment checklist is designed to monitor the ethical behavior of JHS students likewise to provide guidance and counselling services as the need arises.
