Abstract The school environment plays a crucial role in shaping students’ engagement and learning outcomes, particularly among marginalized communities. This paper explores the relationship between various dimensions of the school environment—physical, academic, and social—and their impact on student engagement and learning outcomes. By analyzing existing literature and empirical studies, we aim to establish a conceptual framework that underscores the importance of a well-structured school environment in fostering educational success. The study also highlights the challenges faced by marginalized students and suggests policy implications for improving school environments to enhance their academic performance and overall well-being (Fraser, 2015; Han et al., 2019; Roorda et al., 2011; Wang & Eccles, 2013; Bronfenbrenner, 1979; McLaughlin & Talbert, 2006). Ensuring that students from marginalized communities have access to well-equipped learning spaces, trained educators, and supportive school cultures is critical in addressing disparities in education. Furthermore, the paper examines various strategies to create inclusive learning environments that cater to diverse student needs, ultimately fostering greater engagement and academic achievement.
