• At the time of the first administration, all students had at least one score on the "below <br />average" range on the neighborhood scales. Four students had two or more <br />neighborhood scales in the "below average" or "much below average" range. <br />• Seven out of eight students had two or more of the school attitude scales in the "below <br />average" or "much below average" range. <br />• Six out of eight students were "below" or "much below" average on the peer acceptance <br />and satisfaction scales. <br />• Seven out of eight students scored in the "much below average" range on at least one of <br />the family scales. <br />• All students scored "below average" on at least one of the support scales. <br />• Seven out of eight students scored "much below average" on one of the self - confidence <br />scales. <br />• Six out of eight students scored "below" or "much below average" on two or more of <br />the school behavior scales. <br />• Five out of eight students had scores of "below" or "much below average" on two or <br />more of the general well-being scales. <br />The SSP findings at the time of the first administration support the selection process for <br />admission to the alternative school.

His <br />scores were higher but remained in the "much below average' range. <br />The results of the second administration are compromised by the missing data from some <br />students. However, based on the available information, it appears that students are making <br />progress both in school and other life domains.
