 Review of Related Literature

As indicated by Department of Education, no less than 1.3 million understudies

from state funded schools are entered Grade 11 in the year 2015. The fundamental

motivation behind this investigation is to discover the determinants in choosing a school

which will fit to the understudy's inclinations and wants. This additionally look at to what

degree the determinants influencing the decision of school will direct the understudies

with their life in Senior High School. Many factors affect career choices of high school

students. Identifying these factors would give parents, educators, and industry an idea

as to where students place most of their trust in the career selection process. It would

also allow students to examine processes they use for career selection.

Parent’s choice

Rational choice theory suggests that parents are utility maximizers who make

decisions from clear value preferences, that they are able to demand effective action

from local schools and teachers, and that they can be relied upon to pursue the best

interests of their children. On this point, it is not clear how higher parental educational

attainment could influence school choice: on the one hand, it could indicate families with

a value-oriented vision of education (i.e., families giving higher value to education would

be more likely to investigate the educational options and to exercise free choice. On the

other hand, parents with higher educational attainment could have greater access to

information about the available educational choices, potentially increasing the likelihood

that an actual choice would be made.

School’s Proximity and Locality

A literature search uncovered four previous studies relating mode choice on the

journey to school to built environmental factors. They collectively suggest that children

are more likely to walk or bike to small schools in walkable neighborhoods than to large

schools in remote locations. The percentage of students walking to school was found to

be four times higher for schools built before 1983 than for those built later. A study of

school mode choice in California found that walking and biking to school were more

likely when a household lived within a mile of the school. Walking and biking were less

likely when a household had more licensed drivers to provide rides. These were the

primary influences on school mode choice.

School Environment and Facilities

According to Berry (2012), students and teacher’s comfort indicated as the most

important aspect of any school environment. Being comfortable is a combination of

several different factors; adequate usable space, noise control, lighting, temperature

and climate control, and sanitation. If students are comfortable, then learning becomes

much easier. The classroom is the most important area of a school because it is where

students and teachers spend most of their time and where the learning process takes

place. In the final analysis, the primary environmental policy and management objective

of every school facility should be that of taking whatever steps are necessary to create a

“sense of well-being”. By definition, this is a healthy environment.

Household Income
 As per Jones (2017), The connection between family unit pay and school

decision is self-evident. Salary could likewise clarify the connection between instructive

accomplishment and decision of school, as guardians with postgraduate training win

more by and large than those with less formal training. Upper-salary guardians have the

monetary intends to pay non-public school educational cost, and lower-wage guardians

don't. However, postgraduates, paying little heed to pay, may put a particularly high

incentive on formal training, and hence probably think about contrasting options to state

funded school for their kid.

Religion

Parents with a strong religious faith may want their children to attend a school

where prayer is permitted and faith and morality are taught in addition to standard

academic subjects. In contrast, parents who are not religious may more readily embrace

the secular instruction that U.S. public schools provide. Political and ideological

orientation also appear to affect whether parents send their children to public school, as

Republicans and conservatives are among the groups least likely to have a child in

public school.. Political and ideological introduction likewise seem to influence whether

guardians send their kids to government funded school, as Republicans and moderates

are among the gatherings to the least extent liable to have a tyke in state funded school.

To some degree, this mirrors the connection amongst religiosity and political

distinguishing proof. It additionally might be an aftereffect of Republicans' and

preservationists' more negative perspectives of government funded schools. In

relationship to Senior High School, Student's may likewise allude to a school where their

religion will be practiced and regarded.

Student’s Peers

Choosing to separate your child from childhood friends can be hard on a child, so

it's a very individual decision that should be discussed at length, taking your child's

opinions into consideration. Some children are adaptable and make new friends easily,

while others take ages to meet new children, let alone be on friendly terms with them.

This could play a role in what you decide. All children are different, and what is right for

one child may not be suitable for another. While there are no strict rules, one thing is

clear: parents and children should reach a decision together.
