The population of the study was 300 school students including 100 (5^th grades) students, 100 (7^th grades) students and 100 (9^th grades) students. Interest level was measured using the Physical Education Interest Questionnaire (PEIQ). SPSS 22 software was used for the analysis of data. The results showed that all the students have a positive interest towards Physical Education regardless of their gender, but the male students possessed a significantly higher interest towards Physical Education in comparison to the female students. There was an insignificant difference between the rural and urban students concerning the interest level towards physical education.
