This paper is designed to study the effect of students’ perception of school
environment and its various dimensions on their academic performance. The
study was conducted on 400 high school students from Aligarh District. A Likerttype scale that consisted of three 30 items, was used to measure students’
perception about their school environment, while academic performance was
measured using student’s marks obtained in previous classes. The results
revealed that ‘teacher caring attitude for students’, ‘home work’, ‘students’ attitude
towards school’ and ‘total school environment’ have significant predictive influence
on academic performance.
