Abstract: In a time when graduation rates are showing notable improvement among students of color and students with disabilities, there are still great challenges that remain. The National Dropout Prevention Center for Students with Disabilities has published a monograph that explores the problem of high school dropout rates among American Indian, African American, and Latino males with disabilities. Its purpose is to provide an in-depth look into the specific obstacles that impede this young population from graduating, while offering direction and articulating crucial changes that must be made to better serve these students. [Following the Introduction, this monograph is divided into three reports: (1) "Factors Impacting the Graduation and Dropout Rates of American Indian Males with Disabilities" (Susan C. Faircloth); (2) Decreasing the Dropout Rates for African American Male Youth with Disabilities" (Ivory A. Toldson); and (3) "Latino Males with Disabilities and School Dropout" (Robert Lucio). This report was edited by Mary Grady and Loujeania Williams Bost.]
