This descriptive study assesses how high school students perceive the physical condition of their school to impact their ability to learn with the physical condition defined in terms of lighting and classroom space. The gap poses an issue due to the urgency of policy makers in discussion of directing funding away from maintaining the physical condition of a high school. Since students ultimately predicate the academic and motivational climate of school, their perceptions are assessed to determine the effects the physical conditions have on learning. A survey containing close-ended and open-ended questions has been implemented and the results elicited that high school students sought lighting to be influential towards learning while classroom space had little effect on learning.
