The study was conducted to investigate the role of school climate in predicting the social competence of girl high school students in Dezful in the school year 2019-2020. The study sample included 381 female students who were selected by cluster sampling method and a descriptive-correlation design was employed in this study. The data collection tools included two questionnaires: School Climate (CSCI, 2009), and Social Competence by Felner et al. (1990). The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (frequency table, mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (Pearson correlation and multiple regression). The school is a real field in which competencies such as the spirit of cooperation and interaction are formally transmitted to students . Social competence seems to evolve in the developmental process, and adult social behaviors are rooted in the socialization process of childhood. The results of Pearson correlation test of the showed that there is a significant relationship between school climate and social competence and its components (Cognitive, Behavioral, Emotional and Motivational skills) at the significance level of 0.01.The results of regression analysis indicated that the school climate can predict social competence and its components.
