Building an Early Warning System to Identify Potential High School Dropouts
Author: Linda Shealy

Languages : en
Pages : 364
Book Description
Over one million high school students drop out of school each year in this country. Dropping out of school is a serious problem for the student, community, and the nation. Often dropouts are unable to compete in an increasingly technological society and face numerous consequences from their decision to leave school early including higher levels of poverty, unemployment, public assistance, incarceration, and poor health. Dropping out is a gradual process of school disengagement and related to individual, family, and school factors. In the past, it has been difficult to track individual student's progress through school and to determine accurate dropout and graduation rates. In 2005, the National Governors Association made a commitment to implement a uniform method to calculate and report graduates and dropouts as well as better data collections systems. This study intended to replicate aspects of other major studies around the county to determine the best early predictors of dropping out of school in this large school district in southern Arizona and use this information to build an early warning system. Student data were obtained from the district's Research and Accountability office for a cohort of students (n=6751) who began the ninth grade in fall 2006 and graduated or should have graduated in 2010. Data collected included general demographic information, academic data, number of schools attended, and school withdrawal codes. The intent of this research was to determine if there were statistically significant differences between dropouts and graduates in the variables collected and which variables yielded the highest effect sizes and should be included in the district's early warning system. Two analyses were used to determine significance differences between dropouts and graduates. Then four analyses were performed to determine the highest-yield variables for this district. Consistent with recent research in the field, the variables of ninth grade attendance, ninth grade English and Math grades, and GPA were the strongest predictors of student dropouts. Local educators can use this early warning information to help identify potential high school dropouts as early as possible and intervene more efficiently and effectively with these students.

Identifying Factors to Engage Potential Dropouts in an Alternative High School Model at Gateway Technical College

Category : Alternative education
Languages : en
Pages : 46
Book Description
Each year, students in public schools across the state of Wisconsin drop out before graduation. There was no comprehensive data to explain the risk factors that were present in potential high school dropouts in the Kenosha, Racine and Walworth county public high school districts, nor was there any discussion of alternative high school models that might better serve the needs of these students. This research study explored the risk factors observed in potential dropouts by educators in the high school, and which risk factors could be addressed in an alternative high school model on the campus of Gateway Technical College. The study was conducted with 32 high school teachers and administrators, using a group interview format. The results of the study were consistent with prior research showing the potential dropouts risk factors are interrelated and that some of these factors could be met by the unique educational and social components in a technical college setting.
