With the increase in school violence on campuses all over the country and the increased media attention that these incidents receive. The amount of pressure on school leaders to develop and implement interventions for students is mounting from all angles. Politicians, parents, students, advocates and others have been extremely vocal in their desire to make school safety a priority. This has led to school leaders scrambling to implement various interventions to combat the issue in addition to revamping the way educators look at school site security. One of the more popular interventions being utilized by schools all over the country is school-based mentorship programs. This study looked at all 2,640 students that participated in school-based mentorship programs in high schools in a school district in South Florida during the 2017-2018 school year. The data for these students were analyzed and compared over a two-year period to measure the impact of these programs on the participants in terms of their student attendance and their days of disciplinary suspension. The data was then further analyzed as it was separated into sub-groups based on grade level, gender, and race. The correlational coefficients for each data set was calculated to determine the strength of the relationship between the data. The overall theme that emerged from this study was that these school-based mentorship programs being utilized in South Florida public high schools did not have the desired impact during the 2017-2018 school year. As school violence continues to be a popular topic on school campuses and in the media, the use of interventions, such as mentorship programs, will continue to grow in popularity as a method to combat these situations in an effort to be proactive. Ensuring that these programs and the research that they are based on is sound in their development is and will remain key.
