The construct of school climate has received growing attention in the educational literature in recent years. This study therefore seeks to examine, through the CSCI student survey and student interviews, students’ perceptions of various dimensions of school climate. More specifically, students’ perceptions of social-emotional security—what the CSCI survey finds is the most negatively perceived dimension of school climate among students—are examined in greater depth to explore why students feel that these are the negative factors that may impede their academic achievement. Our study explicates the factors students find most important for social-emotional security, as well as identifies ways in which social-emotional security impacts student attitudes and academic achievement.
