Abstract	This report explores the causes of high school disconnection by youth and potential solutions to address it. The study uses information gathered in interviews with high school administrators and staff, leaders of supporting youth development intermediaries, as well as focus groups with youth, to understand the root causes of youth disconnection and current practices and interventions targeting dropout prevention in New Orleans. The discussions centered around the issues of academic preparation, school culture, building relevant and rigorous curricula, and relationships with adult mentors and peers. Also known as disconnected youth, "opportunity youth" are 16- to 24-year olds who are disconnected from school and work. "Opportunity youth" cost the country $93 billion and the New Orleans metro area $195 million in 2011 due to lost tax revenues and increased spending on social services. This report confirms that youth want to succeed and, with support, they can. (ERIC).
