The success of learning through the STEM approach is highly dependent on the learning style of each high school student. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to obtain information on the relationship between learning styles and student Physics Subject Grades. The study used a quantitative approach and used method and design of correlation research. The number of respondents involved in this study were 30 students who were randomly selected from 120 students. Data collection using questionnaires and documentation. Questionnaires were used to obtain data on learning style variables, while documentation was used to obtain data on Physics Subject Grades variables. The data analysis technique uses the product moment correlation technique (inferential statistics) and descriptive statistics. The results of data analysis showed students with visual learning styles had the highest scores or Physics Subject Grades, while students with analytical learning styles had the lowest scores or Physics Subject Grades. Based on the results of data analysis, it was found that the impact of learning styles on the value of physics students was relatively low, but it was also found that among all learning styles, only Analytical and Holistic learning styles had a more dominant correlation with physics subject scores.
