PDF
Description
Wilder Research and High School for Recording Arts interviewed students and young people who left conventional high schools to understand why they left.
The 70 interviews revealed three primary findings regarding why students left conventional high schools and what they desired as part of their high school experience:
  • More holistic adult-student relationships
  • Personalized teaching and supports
  • Interest-aligned curriculum
The report explores these factors, accompanied by quotes from student interviewees.
