Droup Out Rates
This study examined factors that may influence dropouts to attain high school credentials. Participants were high school dropouts of White-Americans, and African-Americans who either had high school credentials (diploma or GED) or did not have high school credentials. This study considered students who had dropped out as early as 7th grade. This study was able to identify a set of factors that distinguished dropouts who held high school credentials from those who did not. It was estimated that 57% of dropouts return to obtain high school credentials. School capability, age at dropout, and socio-economic status significantly predicted high school credentials attainment. Later grade at dropout was associated with high school credentials attainment. The study concludes that dropping out is not the end of an individual¡¦s education.
