WWC Review of Dropout Prevention Studies

What Works Clearinghouse reviewed 84 studies--looking at 22 school and community based projects targeted to dropout prevention or recovery. Only 23 studies, looking at 16 projects, met WWC evidentiary standards. Tabular presentation indicates which studies demonstrated positive or potentially positive effects on at least one of these three outcome domains: "staying in school, progressing in school, and completing school." The overview with links to all sections of the report and appendices is here: http://ies.ed.gov/ncee/wwc/reports/dropout/topic/
