Abstract The present study was conducted with the aim of evaluating the psychometric indices of school climate and identity (SCASIM-St). The sample size of this research was 503 high school female students who were selected by random sampling method from high schools. The results of exploratory factor analysis by main components method, in addition to the overall school climate, have four factors (the relationship of students with each other, the relationship of students with employees, the emphasis of the school, the values and the collaborative approach of staff and students) and the identity of the school For Joe and School Identity Questionnaire. To verify the reliability of the questionnaire, the Cronbach's alpha coefficient and the method of re-examination were used and a confirmatory factor analysis was used to determine its validity. The results showed that the questionnaire had an acceptable internal consistency and the Cronbach's alpha coefficients in its sub-scales ranged from 0.78 to 0.92. The validity of the questionnaire was statistically significant (P <0.001) at the level of 0.73. Confirmatory factor analysis was also used to determine the validity of the barley measurement and school identity. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis showed that the convergent validity (AVE) value was 0.44 and the general fit method (GOF) was 0.50. . This result confirms that the structure of the questionnaire has acceptable acceptance with the data and confirms all the good indicators of fitting the model. Factor analysis findings were almost similar to those of the original culture, and the reliability and validity coefficients were close to the results of previous research; therefore, considering the desirable psychometric properties of this questionnaire, this tool was a suitable tool for determining the atmosphere and identity of the school from the viewpoint of high school students is.
