| Summary: | This study investigated the effect of student participation in an alternative school offering comprehensive services to at-risk students. More specifically, this study investigated the impact of participation in an alternative school on the achievement and persistence of at-risk students. Additional analyses investigate differences in achievement and persistence related to level of self-concept of at-risk students participating in an alternative school. Focus group interviews were used to determine differences in the perceptions of at-risk students in an alternative school offering comprehensive services and at-risk students in the traditional program. The interviews were also used to obtain participating at-risk students' evaluation of the specific programs offered at the alternative school. Finally, this study investigated the differences in the perceptions of students and educators in the alternative school offering comprehensive services. |
