The purpose of this case study was to analyze the school culture of an arts-integrated, urban middle school in Richmond, Virginia. Four teacher interview questions and classroom and school observations were conducted based on two contributing factors in shaping school culture (visions and values and physical environment). The findings of this study showed a strong, positive school culture with emergent themes of: a supportive administration, a shared vision, a feeling of community. The drawbacks from the positive school culture emerged in the themes of the physical environment and issues in education [ie: standardized testing]. This research begs further inquiry into what the threshold of a positive school culture is when running in conflict with a lack of funding and resources.
