This document reports the results of a study to determine whether changes made in the Neighborhood Youth Corps' in-school component helped to decrease the school dropout rate among participants. Surveys of programs in Harris County, Texas, Norfolk, Virginia, and the Washington metropolitan area provided the data. Overall findings suggest that the in-school program has not changed dropout tendencies, indicating therefore that this component of the program has no significant effects on whether disadvantaged youth remain in school. Difficulties of the program and its problems are discussed in detail. (SN)
