The Effect of Enrollment and School Organization on the Dropout Rate.

Merritt, Ray

Phi Delta Kappan, v65 n3 p224 Nov 1983

Student dropout rates of 272 public secondary schools of different sizes and organizations are compared using analysis of variance. Results are interpreted to support the suggestion that a secondary school can reduce its dropout rate by keeping the total enrollment over 400 students and by including grades 7 through 12. (MJL)
