The Impact of Family Climate on Academic Performance: A Predictive Analysis of Middle School Students

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of family environment factors on academic performance among middle school students, while also examining the characteristics of the family climate in the Algerian context. The research involved a sample of 80 fourth-year middle school students from Batna, Algeria. Data were collected using a family climate scale developed by the researcher, alongside school records to measure academic achievement. 

Statistical analysis of the data indicated that the family climate in Algerian society is relatively positive, characterized by emotional support, affection, and acceptance. Key dimensions such as personal growth, family relationships, responsibility allocation, and the overall home atmosphere were found to significantly contribute to academic performance. The study underscores a strong positive relationship between these family climate factors and students' academic success.
