Abstract	The present study aimed to investigate the attitudes of values among school-going adolescent students in West Bengal and to examine the differences in values across various demographic and socio-educational variables. A quantitative approach using the descriptive survey method was adopted for the study. The sample consisted of 552 students of Class XI selected through simple random sampling from different districts of West Bengal. Data were collected using a self-constructed and standardized Values Scale. Statistical techniques such as Mean, Standard Deviation, Skewness, Kurtosis, t-test, and one-way ANOVA were employed for data analysis. The findings revealed that there was no significant difference in values based on gender and caste. However, significant differences were found with respect to residential status, participation in co-curricular activities, and parental education. Students who were non-hostelers, participated in co-curricular activities, and belonged to higher parental education backgrounds exhibited higher values. The study highlights the importance of socio-educational factors in shaping adolescent values and provides implications for educators and policymakers.
