| Abstract | This paper traces the inordinately high dropout rate in the Chicago public school system to a policy of educational triage in which the better prepared students are sent to more selective high schools while less prepared students are congregated into schools with a more than 50% dropout rate. Also examined are the effects of pre-high school grade retention. All newly enrolled ninth graders from the classes of 1982, 1983, 1984 were tracked by computer through a total of over 100,000 student records. These records were tracked longitudinally from the students' entrance to school to their leaving and students were placed in various leaving categories. Since the Chicago Public schools have used nearly 30 different "leave codes," the study included a reorganization of files to standardize leaving categories. It was found that the schools with the lowest dropout rates are never inner city, general purpose schools, while those with high rates have less challenging programs, few successful peer role models, and function as holding pens until students reach an age when they can legally drop out. The body of the report includes extensive charts showing dropout rates and rank order by school. (CG) |
