Abstract | High school dropouts interviewed for a study released in early March, 2006, were far more likely to say they left school because they were unmotivated, not challenged enough, or overwhelmed by troubles outside of school than because they were failing academically. This article discusses this study, which consisted of four focus groups with dropouts in Philadelphia and Baltimore, as well as interviews with 467 dropouts from 25 large cities, small towns, suburbs, and rural areas.
