The focus of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Student Success Skills group counseling (SSSGC) intervention with grade 9 students identified as at risk to dropout. This study analyzed two years of non-identifiable student data (N = 167) collected by school counselors at one high school in south Florida. An analysis of covariance was used to determine differences in academic grades, standardized test scores, and absences between the students who participated in the SSSGC program those who did not. Statistically significant differences were found for all dependent variables. Implications and future research recommendations are provided.
