Dropout Prevention Services and Programs in Public School Districts: 2010-11. First Look

摘要

The purpose of this report is to introduce new NCES data from the survey through the presentation of descriptive information. Because this report is purely descriptive in nature, readers are cautioned not to make causal inferences about the data presented here. These findings have been chosen to demonstrate the range of information available from the FRSS study rather than to discuss all of the data collected; they are not meant to emphasize any particular issue. The findings are estimates of dropout prevention services and programs available in public school districts rather than estimates of students served. Percentages of districts and students do not have the same distributions. For example, although only 5 percent of public school districts in the United States are located in cities, about 31 percent of all students are enrolled in these districts. The findings are based on self-reported data from public school districts.
