Özet: This study aims to investigate the school life quality of high school students in terms of different variables. Designed as a quantitative study, the data was collected via The Quality of Life in High Schools Scale (QLHSS) developed by Sarı in 2011. The participants of the study were a total of 732 high school students attending different types of public high schools in Denizli/Turkey. Three types of high schools included in the study. The clustering sampling method was used to determine the participants. Analysis shows that high school students have an moderate level of school quality life. First grade students have higher level of school quality life and students attending vocational high school have lower school quality life than the other types of high schools. Surprisingly, students in more crowded classes have respectively higher perceptions of school life quality. Related literature also have similar findings about the perceptions of students about their school life quality. Throughout the end of their high school education, students have respectively negative perceptions about the quality of their school life. This is possibly because of the anxiety of national university entrance exam.
