A school environment is defined as a school having appropriate facilities, well-managed classrooms, available school-based health supports, and a clear, fair disciplinary policy. There are many symbols of the academic, disciplinary, and physical environments of schools with a positive climate.The main purpose of this study was to explore the effect of the school environment on the performance of public and private sector schools at the secondary level. The objectives of the study were to compare the school environment of male-female secondary schools and to compare the school environment of public and private schools. The population of the study was all the male and female secondary school teachers of Khanewal and Multan. For the collection of data, a simple random sampling technique was used. The total sample was 300 male and female school teachers. For the collection of data, a Likert scale-based questionnaire was used as a research tool. For the analysis of data, different statistical techniques were used such as mean, percentage, standard deviation, and chi-square were used. After the analysis of data, it was found that private schools' learning environment has more effects on student’s performance as compared to public schools. It was also found that urban schools' learning environment has more effects on student’s performance as compared to rural schools. This study recommended that teachers should enhance student’s self-belief and also enable students to work autonomously, enjoy learning relationships with others, and feel they are competent to achieve their objectives.
