By the 1960s, high schools had become mass institutions saddled with the expectation of universal education for America's youth. Ironically, with this broadening of clientele and mission came the idea and phenomenon of the dropout.

Why the problem persists is the topic of this study with more constructive perspectives on dropping out.
