Abstract

Attitude towards the school environment is the result of adolescents’ school satisfaction or dissatisfaction from the surrounding ecology, which is related to the school environment. Attitude towards the school environment may have an impact on the academic achievement of adolescents and can also form the basis of adolescents’ education and vocational success. This study concentrates on the impact of attitude towards the school environment on adolescents’ academic achievement. The results reveal that all t-value are less then the 0.01 level. Results show that there is no significant difference in academic achievement between satisfied and dissatisfied groups with their school environment. It may be concluded that the attitude towards school environments does not affect the academic achievement of adolescents.
