The purpose of this study is to examine the extent to which formalization of the family-community-school partnership through the Wicehtowak Partnership influenced educational outcomes for Aboriginal students in one urban school district. It finds that the community engagement process employed by the school district for creating the partnership itself led to stronger and more positive relationships between the school district and the community organizations representing Aboriginal families. While the stated purpose for creating the partnership was to improve educational outcomes for Aboriginal students, school district statistics did not point to a significant improvement in student learning outcomes. There was, however, positive feedback from Aboriginal students with regard to their learning experiences.
