Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine if a relationship exists between teacher-perceived levels of servant leadership in principals, teacher-perceived level of school culture, and student achievement within the Lower Kuskokwim School District. The method of analysis was a quantitative approach. The researcher collected data through two surveys, school index report, and independent school report cards and determined (a) a statistically significant relationship existed between servant leadership and school culture; (b) a statistically significant relationship did not exist between teacher-perceived principal servant leadership characteristics and student achievement and graduation percentage rates; and (c) a statistically significant relationship did not exist between teacher-perceived school culture and student achievement. The researcher collected data from two surveys, school index report, and individual school report cards and determined the correlation between teacher-perceived levels of servant leadership in principals, teacher-perceived level of school culture, and student achievement in an educational setting. The Servant Leadership Assessment Instrument collected data about the principal's servant leadership traits as perceived by the teachers in their school. The School Culture Survey collected information on the current level of school culture from teacher perceptions. The School Index Value Score collected data on student achievement data from state assessments. The Alaska State Individual Report Card collected High School Graduation Rates. The study determined there was a tri-variable positive relationship. This study will add to the research in the area of servant leadership and its potential to impact organizations and people.
