Schools' primary role is to provide students with academics and skills needed beyond school. Schools can be described based on their curriculum, structure, and focus on diversity. As social institutions, schools reflect and are influenced by their surrounding community and culture. Successful schools show high student achievement, strong leadership, high expectations, and a collaborative environment. Schools address social problems like poverty and violence through programs like counseling, community partnerships, and after-school activities.
