What Works: Programs and Interventions that May Influence High School Dropout Rates

Child Trends has developed several What Works series based on rigorously studied programs and interventions to identify what works, what doesn't work and what are some "best bets" (or promising practices). Two series for youth (What Works: American Teens and What Works: Programs for Teens) and one series for young children (What Works: School Readiness) have been developed.

The related tables available from each series are listed below:

What Works: American Teens (by outcomes for teens)
--Academic Achievement
--Educational Expectations
--High School Completion/Reduce High School Dropout

What Works: Programs for Teens (by program approach)

Academic Achievement Programs

Civic Engagement Programs
--School Engagement

Employment Programs
--Attitudes about Completing School
--High School Credentials

Older Youth Programs
--Attainment of a High School Diploma or GED
--Motivation to Succeed Academically
