Abstract
When students in small urban or rural areas are identified as at-risk, they are often visualized as possessing the same traits as at-risk students in very large metropolitan areas. This visualization is often based on both traditional quantitative studies and on qualitative interpretive research. In this study, based primarily on interpretive descriptive models, at-risk ninth-grade students from a small Midwestern urban area were interviewed to determine their attitudes and understandings about school. The data collected represents a highly localized view and indicates that these students' views seem to coincide with traditional values and beliefs.
