Abstract
Each year (US Department of Education, web site), almost one third of all public high school students and nearly one half of all blacks, Hispanics and Native Americans do not graduate from high school.

Click on the tabs to the left to learn more about Study Group members and their research, current and past activities of the Study Group, and scholarship on this important aspect of adolescent development and behavior.

In a final analysis, there are no simple solutions or quick fixes but an effort must be made by all concerned from state, local and federal officials and appropriate departments and the community must be involved.
