This study aims to determine tenth graders in public and private secondary causes of distraction in Technology and how it affects their academic performance. Students' academic performance suffers because they cannot focus when digital devices become more frequently used in the classroom. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected using a sequentialexplanatory research design to compare the prevalence and contributing factors of student digital distractions. The findings indicate that mobile notifications, social networking, and online gaming seriously impair pupils' ability to focus. While private school students suffer from excessive phone use, which has led some schools to implement phone confiscation rules, public school students are distracted mainly by requiring online content and a lack of scheduled procedures. The study highlights the need for solutions, including planned computer breaks, increased parental participation, and defined school rules to reduce distractions. It also emphasizes how important it is to teach students time management and self-control techniques so they can balance their usage of Technology with their curricular responsibilities. By solving these problems, parents and teachers can assist students in forming better digital habits that will enhance their ability to concentrate and study. Ultimately, this study emphasizes the importance of a well-rounded approach to technology use in the classroom, ensuring that technological resources promote academic achievement rather than hinder it.
