Peran guru sebagai teladan menjadi faktor penting dalam mendukung keberhasilan pembentukan karakter melalui budaya lingkungan sekolah. Namun disisi lain, penelitian juga menemukan beberapa kendala, seperti kurangnya konsistensi sebagian peserta didik serta sistem evaluasi yang belum terstruktur secara optimal. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan penguatan evaluasi dan keterlibatan seluruh warga sekolah agar penerapan budaya lingkungan dapat berjalan lebih efektif dan berkelanjutan.
