Summary

This report on California dropouts draws on a large body of current research and features the correlates known to be associated with dropouts. It also details what is known and not known about the magnitude of the dropout phenomenon. Section I provides an introduction to the report. Section II presents a description of the reasons that students withdraw from school, including a discussion of early onset and late onset conditions. Section III contains a discussion of various features of programs for dropout prevention or recovery, along with suggestions on how to match students with programs. Six major dimensions of dropout prevention or recovery programs are examined: (1) curriculum and objective; (2) location/auspices; (3) instructional process; (4) staff; (5) related activities; (6) schedule. Section IV summarizes the status of dropout accounting procedures in districts across California and includes an examination of dropout estimates and suggestions for an amplified definition of a dropout. Section V discusses the relationship of educational reforms and the holding power of schools. Section VI outlines recommendations and recent departmental initiatives in the area of dropout prevention and retention strategies. References are included. (NB)
