Presented is a summary of the Alaskan Native high school dropouts. The data collected on 180 Native Alaskan high school dropouts was taken from the regional dormitories at Nome, Kodiak, Bethel and Boarding Home programs in Anchorage, Tok, Fairbanks, Dillingham, and Ketchikan. Students who terminated for academic reasons, failed to attend school, and those classified as no shows are categorized as dropping for social reasons. There are few programs, accredited or not, which relate culturally to the students. It is difficult for the students to become socially and academically involved in the boarding home program. The most frequently stated reasons for termination, in relation to the social aspect, are: problems relating to the academic system; problems with community and social adjustment; problems within the boarding home and/or school; and the natural homesickness syndrome.
