This report provides descriptions of strategies for dropout prevention at the secondary level and presents examples of programs that successfully utilize these strategies. The information is based on data from a review of nearly 200 programs at secondary schools across the four-state Western region that includes Arizona, California, Nevada, and Utah. This report is divided into two sections. Section 1 describes the following strategies for dropout prevention: (1) involve business, community, and parents; (2) offer alternative schedules and sites; (3) reduce program size; (4) target special populations; and (5) provide appropriate services. Section 2 provides brief descriptions of the following promising secondary school dropout prevention programs: (1) Comprehensive Training for High-Risk Youth; (2) The Health Academy; (3) Washoe High School; (4) Teenage Pregnancy and Parenting Project; (5) Mountainland Tutorial and Vocational Education Program; (6) CLassroom Intervention Program; (7) Tucson Dropout Prevention Collaborative; (8) Project Success; (9) Newcomer High School; and (10) ACE. These programs provide regional representation and include at least one program from each of the states in which programs were reviewed. They also represent a variety of approaches, and each successfully utilizes several of the strategies presented in this report. The name and address of a contact person for each is included. A list of 27 references and one table are included. (JS)
