Considerable research has shown that there are clear links among satisfaction with schooling, overall life satisfaction, and
physical and psychological well-being. In this investigation, we expand on that line of research by identifying the predictors
of overall satisfaction with schooling of 331 Dutch and Finnish pupils aged 6–13. Similar to previous research, student age,
student gender, and teacher likeability were strong predictors of students’ overall satisfaction with schooling. New findings
from this investigation were that teacher gender and class size were significant predictors of overall satisfaction with schooling.
