A Study of Dropouts in Caldwell, Idaho

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to provide the Caldwell, Idaho School District #132 with information concerning the early educational development of a number of dropouts from the system's public high school. By examining the early records of past dropouts in recent years, it is hoped that the individual who may be a dropout in the future can be identified as early as the sixth or seventh grade. It is also hoped that early detection of potential high school dropouts will result in intensive counseling with the individual and his family to encourage the student to do his best to graduate.
