Abstract

If we raise school standards as the current reports on education recommend, will we have to contend with an inevitable increase in dropout rates? Stephen Hamilton considers this problem and some potential remedies by examining the characteristics of school programs that seem to minimize the dropout rate. He also looks at secondary education in West Germany as a source of alternatives to increase the holding power of American secondary schools.
