| Abstract: | In a five-year period, 825 delinquent school drop-outs received their high school equivalency certificates from the Missouri State Department of Education. 37% of those receiving certificates enrolled in college full or part-time. 55% found jobs, enrolled in training programs, or entered the armed services. Only 3% were re-referred to the Court for additional services. These are the amazing results of a high school equivalency program staffed by volunteers and operated by the St. Louis County Juvenile Court from February, 1969, to 1974. |
