Culture over Cut Score: Exploring Familia and Student Success in a Rural South Texas School
Educational Forum, v89 n1 p22-40 2025
Minimal research has been conducted regarding success factors of high school students in rural districts. Through archival data retrieval, student interviews, and observations, this mixed methods study sought to identify success factors of juniors and seniors enrolled at one rural public school in South Texas. The impact of support systems, the campus environment, and the "familia" phenomenon were discovered. The findings could inform districts of comparable size, composition, and classification in achieving increased student success.
