This study evaluated the multidimensional factors that influence the reading comprehension of the senior high school students. Factors influencing the reading comprehension were categorized into three: the cognitive factors, environmental factors, and the physical factors. It also evaluates the respondents’ reading performances interpreted as Outstanding, very good, good, fair, and bad. Based on the results of the study, the environmental factors got a weighted mean of 2.32 interpreted as Always Affected, cognitive factors got a mean of 2.48 interpreted as Always Affected while the physical factors got a mean of 2.40 interpreted as Always Affected. For the reading performance of the respondents, majority of them belong to the third level interpreted as Fair. There is significant relationship between the factors affecting reading comprehension to the English performance of the respondents. Therefore, the students are always affected by the environment, cognitive, and physical factors, therefore they cannot comprehend with so many distractions. The factors are held liable to the students’ reading comprehension. The factors affecting reading comprehension affect the students’ English performance.
