proficient leaders who lead the way in enhancing the student achievement and/or capability. Hence, it
matched the purpose of the study and the study itself which is in the subject of the factors that may cause
positive and negative impact to student achievement . However, a conceptual framework was not
constructed and there was no theoretical framework which may have supported the study. The research
questions were clearly and concisely direct to the study that was conducted since it dealt with the
significant correlation among the three main variables - leadership practices, school culture and studied
achievement and these provided answers regarding the research problem. The absence of related literatures,
which are the main keys to a successful study, lessened the validity of the research methodology. In
general, the study lacks of important sections the brings about the main purpose and what the study resulted
to and how it came up with such outcome.
