In this study, the researchers examined the graduation rates and attendance rates over a two-year time period (i.e., 2004–2005 and 2005–2006) for students enrolled in traditional or alternative academic high schools in the State of Texas. Through collection of statewide data using the Texas Education Agency Academic Excellence Indicator System, graduation rates and attendance rates were compared between students enrolled at traditional high schools with at least 70% at-risk students and students enrolled at alternative academic high schools (i.e., a minimum of 70% of at-risk students have to be enrolled). In all four analyses, traditional high schools with at least 70% at-risk students had higher graduation rates and higher attendance rates than did students in the sample of alternative academic high schools. Implications of the findings are discussed.
