Abstract

This study examines the primary reasons students become less engaged in education, resulting in increased high school dropouts, among minority populations in the United States. A quantitative survey of 17 high school administrators and educators revealed that student motivation for dropping out or remaining in school is contingent on familial involvement, community resources, school programs, and established policies supporting student development. The findings suggest a need for community-based partnerships to address job placement, literacy, family involvement, and other services.
