Environmental quality in urban schools is a major factor that can reduce the quality of life in cities. Although people's exposure to environmental noise has become a global concern, most cities still experience noise levels that interfere with human activities. This paper aims to assess the impact of environmental noise in the vicinity of primary schools. Environmental quality measurements consist of noise, temperature, CO, CO2 and humidity measurements. Environmental quality measurements were conducted in 30 schools. Noise, CO, and CO2 measurements were taken in front of the school and temperature and humidity measurements were taken in the bathroom. The measurement results show that 100% of the noise levels in schools do not meet the requirements and the humidity and temperature levels are still many schools that do not meet the requirements. Recommendations to schools should pay attention to the level of humidity and temperature in the bathroom by providing better circulation.
