The study looked into determinants of school that reflect overall quality of the school. The study was anchored on the Invitational Theory to Practice’ Starfish Analogy of Purkey (1995). Eighty- six participants (68 students and 18 teachers) responded to the adapted the Inviting School Survey- Revised (ISS-R) instrument. Results reveal that the five school climate determinants are significantly correlated to school climate. Significant differences in the perception were found between teacher and student groups for people (t(95) = -3.18, p < .05), process (t(95) = -2.69 ) and policy (t(95) = -2.53) determinants.
