Although the home learning environment has been recognized as an important component of students’ development, the relationship between academic achievement and the learning environment is complex. The purpose of this study is to comprehend how secondary school students in Tamil Nadu’s Thanjavur district perform academically in relation to their home learning environment. Using a normative survey approach, 200 students were selected from the Thanjavur district’s secondary school student population. The statistical techniques (mean, standard deviation, t-test, analysis of variance, and Pearson’s correlation) were used to analyze the data. The findings of the analysis revealed that there is no significant relationship between academic achievement and home learning environment. However, there was a significant negative correlation across various demographic categories for locality, grade, type of school, and medium of instruction. Additionally, students from English-medium schools, urban areas, and private and assisted institutions performed well academically.
