RAND Review, our flagship magazine, showcases RAND research on a variety of timely and relevant issues facing the world today.

RAND Review is published periodically by the RAND Corporation, a nonprofit institution. The mission of the RAND Corporation is to help improve policy and decision making through research and analysis. Opinions are those of the authors and do not reflect positions taken by RAND, its board, or its clients.

On the Cover: Andrew, a dropout from Hollywood High School in Los Angeles, waits for friends outside his former campus on March 23. In California, fewer than two-thirds of all students graduate from high school in central city districts and in communities with high levels of racial and socioeconomic segregation, according to the Urban Institute. Education experts have called for greater accountability for the dropout rate instead of the current national emphasis on test scores.
