Abstract

Dropping out of school has significant negative consequences for future life outcomes in terms of economic opportunities, health and well-being, and risk of incarceration. Trends indicate that dropout rates in the United States and around the world have been decreasing since 2000, but demographic differences reveal lingering inequities. To understand the key factors that influence whether students graduate from school, an ecological risk and resilience model of school dropout is presented, focusing on adolescents' personal competencies which develop in context. Recommendations based on the model and effective interventions are discussed.
