Abstract
Across the United States students are reporting that they do not feel like they belong to their school. The implications of students not feeling a sense of belonging are significant and long-lasting, impacting many general well-being and academic outcomes. The heuristic case study was conducted in a Midwestern Urban Middle School utilizing three qualitative data sources to examine how adolescent students perceive their experiences with a sense of school belonging. The central questions were: (1) How do adolescent students experience school belonging? (2) How do adolescent students experience interventions implemented by the school related to school belonging? The findings supported reviewed literature on the importance of school culture, peer-to-peer relationships, and student-teacher relationships. Implications for practice and recommendations for further research are included.
