Abstract
This study aimed to assess the school environmental condition and student well-being in public elementary schools in Braulio E. Dujali District, Division of Davao del Norte. A non-experimental quantitative research design utilizing a correlational method was employed to determine the relationship and influence between the two variables. The respondents of the study consisted of 130 teachers selected through universal sampling. To analyze the data, the study utilized statistical tools such as the Mean, Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient (Pearson r), and Regression Analysis. The findings revealed that the level of school environmental condition and student well-being was high. Furthermore, a significant relationship was identified between school environmental condition and student well-being. The results also showed that the domains of school environmental condition significantly influences student well-being. Based on these findings, it is recommended that school administrators and stakeholders may continue to enhance and maintain positive environmental conditions within schools to support and improve students' overall well-being. Further programs, policies, and interventions that promote a healthy and supportive school environment should be developed and implemented to ensure the holistic development of learners.
