Abstract This study aimed to investigate the relationship between academic achievement in science and the home environment among higher secondary students. The study was conducted in the East Singhbhum district of Jharkhand state. A descriptive survey method was employed, and a sample of 500 higher secondary students was selected using a stratified random sampling technique.
