Abstract: It was the purpose of this study (1) to discover the extent of student drop-outs from each high school grade level of the last nine graduating classes of Harris High School; (2) to show at which grade levels in the four years of high school work, and during which of the past nine years, the problem has been most acute; (3) by means of a teacher, student, and parent questionnaire and interview study of student drop-outs during the current school year of 1955-56, to indicate reasons for the extent of the problem in Harris High School; and (4) to offer suggestions and recommendations for a lessening of the severity of the problem.
