| Abstract | The purpose of the study was to determine whether high performing urban high schools have higher levels of student engagement and if so; what school factors contribute toward that engagement. The school factors examined in this study were leadership, instructional practices and culture.; A high-performing urban high school in the Los Angeles County area of California was selected for the study. The school was selected because it was part of a high school district singled out by the State Superintendent of Instruction for special recognition as a result of increased student achievement by California's Academic Performance Index (API) and its particular success with targeted subgroup populations.; The case study was completed using a mixed-method qualitative research design. Methods of data collection included observations, surveys, interviews and document analysis. A concurrent research study conducted at the school site by Indiana University as part of the High School Survey of Student Engagement was also utilized as a secondary data source. Instruments to gather multiple methods of data collection supported triangulation of the data.; Analysis of the data indicated that effective leadership, instructional practices, and culture were factors impacting student achievement and student engagement; but the findings from the High School Survey of Student Engagement indicated minimal or moderate levels of student engagement. Responsibility for student achievement throughout the school organization, concern for students, use of data to guide decision making, and effective leadership emerged as predominant themes impacting student achievement and student engagement. |
