Abstract	This booklet addresses the issue of high school dropouts. The dropout problem is briefly reviewed and dropout statistics are presented. A section on identifying the dropout lists early warning signs of potential dropouts and examines reasons for dropping out. Seven profiles of dropouts are included which provide personal insights, describe frustrations which led to the decision to leave school, and suggest the magnitude of the efforts needed to prevent dropouts. Key features of a comprehensive dropout prevention program are given and a variety of approaches used by schools to address the dropout problem are listed. Steps in planning a comprehensive dropout prevention program are enumerated and models of comprehensive programs are briefly described. Suggestions are made for how principals and teachers can help in the dropout prevention effort. References are included. (NB)
