The present study has been designed to investigate the adjustment of secondary school students concerning their gender, locality, management. Three hundred secondary school students studying in the ongole town of Prakasam district were selected as samples. In this investigation, Adjustment Inventory was developed by Sinha&Singh (1971). It consists of 60 items with three alternative options such as always, sometimes, and never. There are 23 positives and 37 negatives. If the respondent finds ‘always’, the positive items will be given a weightage of 2 points. Similarly, 1, 0 points are given to mark ‘sometimes’ and ‘always’ respectively and in the case of negative items, the scoring is reversed, i.e. from 0 (always) to 2 (never). The split-half reliability of the coefficient was 0.95. The results showed that Secondary School Students differed in their adjustment problems levels. Nearly 18.00% of the sample secondary school students possess extremely unsatisfactory adjustment. 27.33% of the sample Secondary School Students have unsatisfactory adjustment. Approximately 34.00% of sample secondary school Students have below-average adjustment. Nearly 20.67% of the sample Secondary School Students have average/moderate adjustment. Gender and management of secondary school students make a significant difference in their adjustment problems, whereas locality of secondary school students makes no significant difference in the adjustment problems.
