This study aimed to design and validate a model for improving the academic performance of first-grade secondary school students in Ardabil City. The research was applied in terms of its objective and mixed in terms of its nature. The qualitative population consisted of experts, professors, and academic specialists in the field of educational sciences and all its branches in Ardabil. The quantitative population included all secondary school teachers in Ardabil's first-grade secondary schools. In the qualitative section, the sample size was determined based on the principle of saturation, totaling 20 individuals. For the quantitative section, proportional stratified random sampling was used to select a sample size appropriate to the population size of approximately 270 individuals. Data collection tools included interviews and a researcher-made questionnaire. According to the results, the reliability of all categories was greater than 0.7, indicating that the questionnaire's reliability was ideal and satisfactory. The composite reliability of all categories was also higher than 0.7 and greater than the average variance extracted (AVE), indicating convergent validity. Discriminant validity was also confirmed by the HTMT criterion. The research findings indicated that the improvement of the academic performance of students in Ardabil was categorized and validated under seven components: student commitment and willpower, effective communication with teachers, individual factors, planning and organizing, use of effective teaching techniques, family support, and an appropriate educational environment and facilities (sig<0.05). Ultimately, it is suggested that the Ministry of Education should develop educational programs, employ differentiated teaching, provide facilities and equipment, create positive learning environments, present parents and officials as supporters, and use extracurricular activities to improve students' academic performance.
