Abstract

Sociodemographic factors (i.e., income, gender, age, and race) and behavioral indicators of school disengagement (i.e., absenteeism, behavior problems, and poor academic performance) are associated with increased risk of dropping out of high school. However, our understanding of how these factors interact to influence youths’ decision to drop out is not yet fully understood. This is especially true in rural student populations, a group underrepresented in research. This study examined: the mediating role of school disengagement on the relationship between sociodemographic risk and high school dropout and whether effects differed for rural and non-rural students.
