School-Within-A-School (Hawaii Nui High) Hilo High School Report 1969-70.
Hawaii Univ., Honolulu. Social Welfare Development and Research Center.
The second year of operation of Hilo High School's "School-Within-A-School" [SWS] program is evaluated in this paper. Planning, training, and program implementation are described in the document. The following are the results of the program: There was an improvement in attendance among project students when compared to their record in the previous year. There was improved achievement in basic academic areas such as communications, skills and math. There was a reduction in the over-all drop-out rate at Hilo High school, and there was more student participation in school and community activities. Among the recommendations made for the future are the following: An effort must be made to stabilize staffing assignments; Serious consideration must be given to the type of personnel appointed to the staff; The 50 question student evaluation questionnaire or other similar instrument should be administered in September and in May to determine value changes among Hilo High and SWS students. Finally procedures should be implemented to improve the relationship between the SWS staff and the Hilo High School administration. (Author/AM)
