  • This paper presents the development of a brief scale of school adjustment (BSAS-10). It was used a quota sample of four public facilities of secondary and high school (N=1285). For the concurrent validity were employed: the Parent Adolescent Communication Scale (Barnes and Olson, 1984), the Suicide Ideation Scale (Roberts, 1980) and the average mark of the previous semester. Upon factoring by Principal Axis, based on the Kaiser�s criterion, three factors that explain 59.597% of the total variance were defined. The first factor with 5 items (a=.843) reflected adjustment problems to the scholastic environment, the second factor with 3 items (a=.780) good scholastic performance, and the third factor with 2 items (a=.850) intention of attending to the university. The model with better adjustment was that of related 3-factors, with fit indexes from good to adequate. The scale had a high reliability (a=.791), showed differences by gender, age groups and studies level. It was found direct and meaningful correlation with positive familiar communication and the average mark of the previous semester; also, inverse, with negative familiar communication and suicide ideation. It is concluded that the scale has a three-dimensional structure, with good fit to the data; it is consistent and presents concurrent validity. It is wished to encourage its study and application.
