Abstract The school environment significantly influences the academic achievements, psychological well-being, and overall development of higher secondary students. This study examines students' perceptions of their school environment, focusing on key factors such as gender, locality, type of institution, place of stay, medium of instruction, parental education, and parental occupation. Data were collected from 753 students in Villupuram and Cuddalore districts using the School Environment Scale developed by Kulkarni Ramesh Keshavarao (2010). The results indicate that female and urban students perceive a better school environment compared to their male and rural counterparts. However, no significant differences were observed based on the type of institution (government vs. private), place of stay (home vs. hostel), or medium of instruction (Tamil vs. English). Students with college-educated parents and those whose parents are engaged in business report a more positive school environment. These findings underscore the importance of creating inclusive and supportive school environments to enhance student experiences and outcomes.
