Book Description
This study examined whether or not student, parent, and peer engagement factors that contribute to at-risk students' success in graduating from high school continue to be important in making the transition from high school to postsecondary education. The data set used was the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988, which included 1994 data obtained two years after students' scheduled high school graduation. At-risk students exhibited two or more of six risk factors, including "family in the lowest socioeconomic quartile" or "held back a grade". Analysis used alternative statistical methodology, specifically regression analysis and the "odds ratios" produced by this procedure. Key findings indicated that: (1) students whose parents frequently discussed school-related matters and/or had high educational expectations were much more likely than other students to enroll in postsecondary education; (2) students who reported that most or all of their high school friends planned to attend college were far more likely to attend themselves; (3) participating in college preparation activities such as gathering information about financial aid increased the odds of enrolling in postsecondary education; and (4) moderate- to high-risk students participating in college outreach programs were more likely to attend college. Appended are a glossary and technical and methodology notes. (Contains 11 references.) (DB)

Book Description
"The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the growing number of alternative schools for at-risk youth and to identify what makes a program successful. It highlights several successful programs and discusses what makes each a remarkable example of alternative education. It also identifies the sincere lack of empirical data regarding this success or failure. The results of a successful program are identified, and include small school size, a clear and defined purpose, devoted and highly trained staff, entrance and exit criteria and high academic expectations."--leaf 3.
