School Reform for At-Risk Students.
Wehlage, Gary
Equity and Excellence, v25 n1 p15-24 Fall 1991
A national study of 14 alternative secondary schools (urban, rural, and suburban) enrolling students at risk of dropping out suggests that effective schools provide at-risk students with a community of support and can prevent students from dropping out. Eight policy recommendations comprise a youth policy agenda for states and communities. (SLD)
