Consequences of Dropping Out of School: Findings from High School and Beyond.

McCaul, Edward J.; And Others

Journal of Educational Research, v85 n4 p198-207 Mar-Apr 1992

The High School and Beyond survey collected experiences of dropouts and high school graduates. Researchers compared dropping out to personal, social, and labor market experiences four years after projected graduation date. Dropouts differed from graduates in personal and social adjustment but not self-esteem. Male and female dropouts had different experiences. (SM)
