Catterall, James S.; Stern, David

Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, v8 n1 p77-86 Spr 1986

This research probes two questions: Does participation in alternative high school programs reduce the likelihood of students dropping out? Does participation enhance experience in the labor market after students leave school? Results showed lower dropout and higher subsequent employment rates among participants who had no doubt about finishing the program. (Author/JAZ)
