The study seeks to analyze the psychometric characteristics of a scale to measure school climate in university students. A self-report instrument was developed with 61 items from the social, school and physical areas of the school climate contained in the following dimensions: academic climate, community, safety and institutional environment. 329 university students participated (69% women and 31% men) with an average age of 21.58 years, who voluntarily agreed to answer the online questionnaire. The sample was randomly divided into two subsamples, 159 participants for the exploratory factor analysis and 170 participants for the confirmatory factor analysis. A model with six factors was obtained and the final instrument was composed of 21 items with an internal consistency value of α = .858. This scale showed to be useful to measure school climate and to make decisions that positively impact university students. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
