Several factors can stand in the background of the dropout of a student from an educational institution, namely learning difficulties, social problems, or the lack of motivation, direction, or support. School dropout cannot be predicted by only one factor as the determinants are in connection during the progress (Fenyves et al., 2017). In this study, the dropout intentions, dropout rates, and health awareness of students of four sports schools (secondary educational institutions with a special program for developing sports and academic career with A-level exam at the end--one in Budapest and three in the country) and four non-sports schools (one in Budapest and three in the country) were measured through focus group discussions. Furthermore, the connection between dropout intention and health awareness was also investigated. [This paper was presented at the European Conference on Educational Research 2019.]
