Why do some students continually return to the alternative school?  This happens to many students in our district.   Are there any factors which these students have in common?  Is it possible that some students would prefer the environment at the alternative school?  If so, why?  If no, why are they having problems being successful on a regular campus? 

My research will focus on recidivism rates for students at the alternative school.  I will develop a questionaire and focus group.
