Abstract	CLONCH, SANDRA U., Ed.D., April 2016, Educational Administration A School Improvement Success Story: A Qualitative Study of Rural School Culture, Leadership, and the Change Process Directors of Dissertation: Charles Lowery and Krisanna L. Machtmes Due to the accountability requirements of the No Child Left Behind federal legislation, school districts that do not meet federal and state achievement standards must engage in a strategic planning process that is intended to improve instruction and raise district test scores. Even after engaging in such efforts for multiple years, few districts in Southeastern Ohio have been successful in transforming school buildings to substantially increase student achievement and meet the federal requirements. This is especially true for districts with substantial Economically Disadvantaged and Student with Disabilities populations. This phenomenological case study focused on one successful school, South Elementary. The researcher investigated the processes used by school personnel in transforming the school from a low achieving to a high achieving organization, as measured by state accountability standards. The central questions of the study included: What changes have occurred in organizational leadership, culture, and practices in this rural Southeastern Ohio school that have led to its improved academic performance? • How is organizational leadership provided at the school? What changes in leadership have occurred? How have these changes influenced the school’s improved academic performance?
