Invisible Me: Three Northern Arapaho Early School Leavers

Abstract

Abstract:This two-year study examines the factors that lead Northern Arapaho youth to leave public school before completion of high school. Interviews of these Arapaho youth who dropped out of school provide evidence of similarities and differences among Northern Arapaho, other American Indians, and marginalized people who left school early. Based on the findings, recommendations for interventions to improve retention of Northern Arapaho students in school are presented.
