Abstract

The impact of school environment on academic performance has become more important over recent years. However, there are no specific studies of the impact of school environment variables on the performance of secondary school students in the PISA domains of science, reading and mathematics. This article aims to analyse the influence of aset of predictors relating to the school environment (climate, well-being, and bullying) on student performance in all three PISA domains. The sample comprises 28 781 Spanish students (14 459 male students, 50.24%; 14 322 female students, 49.76%) from 935 schools, who participated in PISA 2022. A two-level hierarchical linear model was used: students and schools. The results show that male students score higher than female students in mathematics and science, while female students score higher in reading. Male students have a more favourable opinion of school well-being than female students. Students' economic status is a strong predictor of performance in all three PISA domains. School climate, school well-being, and bullying have more impact on performance in mathematics and science than in reading. Students in private schools perform better than those in public schools. The results of the final models explain more than 21% of the differences between students in performance in the three areas and more than 50% between schools. These findings suggest a need to create an environment that promotes student learning, reinforce students' sense of belonging to the school, and implement anti-bullying measures in schools.

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2025-05-21:

  • The use, from an academic perspective evidenced by the Altmetric agency indicator referring to aggregations made by the personal bibliographic manager Mendeley, gives us a total of: 15.
  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 13 (PlumX).

With a more dissemination-oriented intent and targeting more general audiences, we can observe other more global scores such as:

  • The Total Score from Altmetric: 1.
  • The number of mentions on the social network X (formerly Twitter): 2 (Altmetric).

It is essential to present evidence supporting full alignment with institutional principles and guidelines on Open Science and the Conservation and Dissemination of Intellectual Heritage. A clear example of this is:

  • The work has been submitted to a journal whose editorial policy allows open Open Access publication.
  • Additionally, the work has been submitted to a journal classified as Diamond in relation to this type of editorial policy.
