Relationship Between Educational Institution, School Building, and School Food Factors and High School Students’ Satisfaction

Abstract

This study aims to examine the association between Educational Institution, School Building, and School Food factors and student satisfaction in a Mexican high school. The research employed a non-experimental, correlational design using data from the 2023 Institutional Quality Survey. The sample consisted of 3,979 students. Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analyses were applied, yielding three independent components (KMO = .959). To construct the dependent factor, Cronbach’s alpha was calculated, resulting in a reliability coefficient of .718. A Multiple Regression Analysis was conducted to assess the influence of the latent components on the dependent variable. The findings confirm the proposed hypotheses: the Educational Institution factor is the strongest predictor of student satisfaction, while School Food and School Building exert comparatively lower influence.
