This New York City school district educational project sought to locate actual dropouts and identify potential dropouts from Benjamin Franklin High School, and to involve them in the Urban Street Academy Program as a means of resolving their school problems and helping them continue their education. The objectives of the Academy were (1) establishing rapport with youths who drop out of school, (2) remedying their educational deficiencies and helping them return to school, (3) helping them build leadership qualities, and (4) seeking improved teaching techniques. The entire Academy staff included a director, 3 full time licensed teachers, one part time teacher, and eight streetworkers. The physical facilities comprised two storefronts. A total of about 60 students was serviced intensely by the Academy during that year. Fifteen of the 60 students "graduated" from the Academy to the next higher academic level, to college. Deficiencies in record keeping make it difficult to separate Academy outcomes in terms of impact on the students from Benjamin Franklin High School and the larger number of youths from the community who were serviced.
