Urban American Indian Students in a Nonpuitive Alternative High School
Jeffries, Rhonda B.; Hollowell, Mary; Powell, Tamara
American Secondary Education, v32 n2 p63-78 Spr 2004
This article is based on participant observation, review of documents such as curriculum materials, and interviews with participants associated with Spotted Eagle Alternative High School in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The school was founded to combat the high dropout rate of American Indian students from mainstream secondary settings and offers a last chance for high school graduation. Approximately half of its students are American Indian, while the remaining students are African American, White, and Latino. Eighty percent of seniors graduate each year. The article highlights values and attitudes that predominate at Spotted Eagle. It also demonstrates how the school fulfills criteria for a quality nonpunitive alternative education.
