When Can Schools Affect Dropout Behavior? A Longitudinal Multilevel Analysis.
Goldschmidt, Pete; Wang, Jia
American Educational Research Journal, v36 n4 p715-38 Win 1999
Used the National Education Longitudinal Study database to examine student and school factors associated with dropping out in different grades. Results show that the mix of student risk factors changes between early and late dropouts. School factors can account for approximately two-thirds of the difference in mean school dropout rates, but do not mediate specific student risk factors well. (SLD)
