This qualitative study explores perceptions of a dropout recovery program implemented in two high schools in Waterway School District from the perspectives of program facilitators, school administrators, and former student participants. Individual interviews, focus group interviews, and an online questionnaire are the sources of data for the study. Three theories support the proposed study. The first, Hirschi's Control Theory (1969), explains how keeping a child (student) bonded with the school affects delinquency and underachievement. The next supporting theory is the Graduation-Dropout Process Theory (Kronick & Hargis, 1998), which places students into dropout categories. The final supporting theory is Vroom's Expectancy Theory (1964), which holds that constant predictions of likely outcomes, e.g. achieving academic success, create expectations about future events, e.g. graduation. Findings will contribute to the extensive body of literature on student attrition, and specifically to the literature on credit recovery programs.
