Abstract	This report evaluates four off-campus private alternative schools in Portland, Oregon, serving students mainly of high school age and supported by the Portland Public Schools. The students are largely dropouts or on the verge of dropping out; many are referred from other schools and law enforcement agencies. Since 1966, the Albina Youth Opportunity School (AYOS) has continued to serve almost as many students as it has in the past. AYOS seeks to modify behavior so as to enable students to return to regular schools or obtain other satisfactory placement. The Lents Education Center (LEC), begun in 1974, has raised its expectations of student responsibility and increased efforts to impact non-academic problems affecting student success in school. A lack of resources, however, limits LEC's ability to respond more effectively to non-school related problems. Open Meadow Learning Center (OMLC), established in 1971, has evolved into a more experiential rather than highly academic learning center. It appears to be successful in extending the education of nearly all who enroll there. The Portland Opportunities Industralization Center (POIC) has been serving a population of adults, predominantly in their early twenties, since 1968. It began serving younger, high school age students as well in January 1983. Enrollment appears to remain fairly high and achievement data tend to show fairly good success. (ETS)
