Effective Schools Must Focus on Potential Dropouts.

Conrath, Jerry

NASSP Bulletin, v70 n487 p46-50 Feb 1986

Although the national reports have not focused on the problem, effective schools must address the needs of potential school dropouts. The author rebuts some of the common arguments against dropout prevention programs, arguing that successful dropout prevention is one of the key indicators of overall school effectiveness.
