What is the relationship between students who drop out and their environment

This research examines the school dropout rate, including the impact of low academic achievement and social implications upon those who dropout. Interviews from school professionals and parents highlight the correlation these individuals may see between low academic achievement and social experiences with the dropout rate. In addition to discussing the implications of dropout rates, the research discusses potential solutions to the problem, including ways school professionals may improve the learning environment. The findings indicate that an engaging and motivating environment will improve the outcome for high risk students to stay on track for graduation. Withdrawal from academic engagement as well as lack of involvement in the school setting are both indicators of school dropout. The research suggests that moving away from a ‘one size fits all’ mentality into a personalized education system will have a positive impact on student success. Excellent schools foster the developmentally responsive environment that high-risk students need in order to continue a trajectory toward excellence.https://openriver.winona.edu/urc2018/1058/thumbnail.jp
