Summary/Abstract: Thus, the purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between school burnout and subjective well-being for students in grade of 9th to 11th. The methodology of this research was descriptive and correlation. The two questionnaires employed here were The Satisfaction with Life Scale with five items of the Diener et al. (1985) and School-Burnout Inventory with nine items and three component - exhaustion at schoolwork (EXH), cynicism toward the meaning of school (CYN), and sense of inadequacy at School (INAD) - measures of school burnout of the Salmela-Aro et al. (2009). The results showed that the high school students described their subjective well being in relatively good and also in overall marked high scores (agree) on exhaustion at schoolwork, and they were relatively agree with cynicism toward the meaning of school, and sense of inadequacy at school. There was relatively positive correlation between students’ subjective well-being and exhaustion at schoolwork, relatively high negative correlation between students’ subjective well-being and cynicism toward the meaning of school, and no any significance correlation between students’ subjective well-being and sense of inadequacy at School. There were positive correlation between students’ subjective well-being and some components of school burnout e.g. SWB with EXH and in the some components of school burnout and subjective well-being there were negative correlation e.g. SWB with CYN, and there were no significance differences between SWB and some component of school burnout e.g. SWB with INDA.
