The research objectives of the study were to investigate the effectiveness of public secondary schools with respect to peer-academic relationship, teacher and students' academic relationship, significance of pedagogical practices, and school plant-infrastructure for learning-supportive. Survey method was applied to collect data with the five-point Likert scale. Population of the study were 10th grade students studying in Government Municipal Corporation Secondary Schools in Rawalpindi city. Convenient sampling technique was applied to select students. The result of the Year 2007-2011 of 10th grade and enrollment trends were also analysed. The main conclusions of the study were that the enrollment rate in the public secondary schools is decreasing. It is reflected that the decreasing trends are due to the missing facilities in public schools and lack of student centered learning opportunities. Students may be involved in decision making relating to academic activities, and dialogue between students and teachers in the form of question answer may be encouraged. Teachers may be trained to assign group work activities for accelerating learning of average, mediocre and bright students that may also enhance the peer-teacher-academic relationship.
