| Abstract | BACKGROUND Students who are disengaged from school are at risk for poor academic achievement, skipping classes, sexual activity, substance use, and ultimately dropping out of school. The nation has moved to establish rigorous academic performance standards, such as those required by the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). However, some evidence shows that levels of school engagement are declining, and that these engagement levels are particularly low among boys. Just one-half of girls and only 25 percent of boys aged 14-15 were engaged in school in 1999. By 2002, these levels fell further: only 39 percent of girls and 20 percent of boys were reported by their parents to be engaged in school. Out-of-school time programs can play a role in increasing school engagement., 5 |
