| Abstract | The purpose of this study was to investigate evidence of a link between high academic achievement and high engagement in high-performing urban schools and, if found, to determine what factors were significant in producing these outcomes. Among the factors examined in the study are culture, instructional programs and practices, and leadership.; A high-performing school was selected for this study, based on the State’s designation as a high-performing urban district in Los Angeles County. This designation reflects the results of testing and comparisons from the Academic Performance Index (API).; The research in this case study was undertaken using a mixed methods design also known as qualitative research methodology. Results of the study were based on the triangulation of data from the various sources. Data was collected and analyzed utilizing school and district documents and artifacts, observations, interviews, and surveys. The High School Survey of Student Engagement (HSSSE) was used, as secondary date in the study. The observation templates and interview questionnaire was based on valid and reliable instruments adapted to this study.; Although the findings from the HSSSE student interviews did not support the anticipated conclusions, analysis of findings based on multiple data confirmed that the studied factors— culture, leadership, programs and practices— have made a difference in promoting high academic achievement and student engagement. |
