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
