Abstract:
This pragmatic study examined the positive and negative influences that affected potential graduation of Hmong American male students from a high school in central Wisconsin. It reported surveys and interviews with Hmong American male graduates and non-graduates from the graduating classes of 2011 and 2012, and identified themes showing influences on their probability of graduating from high school, as follows: parental involvement, English language acquisition, inter-generational conflict, and student engagement. Findings from this study may assist other districts with a Hmong student population in improving educational attainment among Hmong American males.
