Results of a process evaluation of dropout prevention programs in the Leon County (Florida) school district during the school year 1989-90 are presented. Altogether, 11 dropout programs were operationalized in that school year. The methodology used for developing a problem survey among teachers and administrators, the results of the evaluation, and recommendations for program improvement are presented. In all, these programs served 1,900 students during the school year. All of the programs met criteria established by the school district, and featured small classes, a variety of instructional approaches, and close teacher contact with students and parents. Development of the survey began with identification of areas of concern through 38 qualitative interviews with teachers and administrators. The instrument, which consisted of 43 statements in 8 problem areas, was sent to 118 teachers and 32 administrators, with responses from 70 teachers and 23 program administrators. Teachers saw more serious problems than did administrators, but all respondents recognized the potential of the programs for dropout reduction. Five tables present study findings.
