This quasi-experimental quantitative study examined the relationships of stakeholder perceptions to school climate variables to first determine the climate of a school and then examine the variables to make further recommendations to improve climate within an elementary school. This school climate study used the five basic dimensions of the International Alliance for Invitational Education (IAIE) to measure school climate initiatives. The five dimensions include people, place, process, policy and programs. The dependent variables used in this study related to each of those five dimensions and strategic interventions that align to the dimensions were used to study impact on the independent variable of the stakeholder perceptions. The sample for this study was solicited from an urban elementary school in Ohio, in the Northwestern part of the state. The elementary school consisting of sixty staff members including certified and classified staff, one hundred students in grades five and six, and school families took part in the study. The stakeholders completed the Inviting School Survey-Revised (ISS-R) survey as part of the study in both paper and online formats. An additional question was added to the end of the ISS-R survey to gather anecdotal data to guide further research efforts. As predicted, the results of this study indicated that stakeholder perceptions are related to the dimensions of school climate. Implications of these results indicate that these relationships exist and additional research is necessary to determine the extent of these relationships. This research will further address the needs to improve school climate in elementary schools.
