By conducting the Attitude Motivation Test Battery, for the scale "Instrumental Orientation" with a measuring Likert scale ranging from 1-6, overall, high schools students have stated that learning English is important for many reasons like: career upgrading, with item mean value (M=5.6); Learning English makes them more educated (M=5.05) ; It will help them find a good job (M=5.8) ; And, learning English is important because other people will respect them more if they speak English (M=4.1). The one-way ANOVA procedure was conducted to examine the mean values for each group of school and differences for the dependent variable instrumental orientation of the foreign language between three groups of schools: 1.urban public high school with a sample size representation of 63.6%. 2. Rural public high school with a sample size representation of 23 %; 3. Non-public high school with a sample size representation of 13.4%. The ANOVAs descriptive statistics for the instrumental orientation according to groups of school found that mean value for urban public high school is (M= 4.3) ; For Rural public high school is (M= 5.6) ; For non-public high school is (M= 5.4). Post Tukey HSD procedure for comparisons of groups indicated that the difference between urban public and rural high schools is (-1.3) with a non significant value (p= .1, p>.5). The difference between urban public high schools and non-public is (-1.1), a non-significant result (p=.87, p>.5). A significant small difference (0.2) for instrumental orientation of foreign language (p=.041, p
