Abstract: The present study investigates the influence of selected background variables, gender, age, type of family, locality, and socioeconomic status, on the overall outcomes of adolescents in the school setting. A total of 300 students from various schools were selected using a stratified sampling method. The data were analysed using independent sample t-tests to determine the mean differences between groups. The findings revealed statistically significant differences across all background variables. Girls scored higher than boys, and older adolescents (15–17 years) outperformed younger ones (13–15 years). Students from nuclear families, urban localities, and above-average socioeconomic backgrounds also recorded significantly higher scores compared to their counterparts. These results indicate that demographic factors play a crucial role in shaping student development and performance. The study highlights the need for inclusive, equitable, and context-sensitive educational practices. Educational implications, limitations, and suggestions for future research have been discussed to support data-driven policy and pedagogical improvements.
