Abstract

The academic performance of students is indicative of a relatively low level of achievement according to the 2018 PISA survey conducted in Indonesia. The influence of the school climate on students’ academic achievement has been noted by multiple scholars. Consequently, in order to enhance students’ academic performance, it is necessary for the educational institution to foster a more favorable school climate, as the school environment significantly influences students’ academic achievement. The objective of this study is to investigate the school climate within a secondary school located in Lombok, with the intention of gaining a more comprehensive understanding of the school climate and its potential association with students’ academic performance. This study employs a quantitative methodology, wherein researchers employ questionnaires that are distributed to the targeted population through the use of Google Forms. The researchers have chosen to employ descriptive and correlational research designs in accordance with the study’s objectives. A descriptive research design is employed to ascertain the perceptions of students regarding school climate and their academic performance. Correlation research aims to determine the association between two variables. In order to gather data, a simple random sampling technique was employed, ensuring that every individual within the population had an equal opportunity to be included in this study. The finding of this study showed that there is significant correlation between the two variables. Moreover, the regression result indicates that 10.1% of the school climate contributed to students’ academic achievement. Therefore, this research is able to contribute to the existing body of knowledge regarding the relationship between school climate and students’ academic performance. The findings of this study will be of particular relevance to school administrators, educators, policymakers, and researchers, particularly in developing nations such as Indonesia where limited research has been conducted.
