Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This paper explores the impact of Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps (JROTC) programs on High School Graduation Rates. The 1990’s witnessed a rapid increase in JROTC programs in US high schools as a method to combat gang violence, drug use, dropout rates and to increase graduation rates. Little prior evidence has been presented on the effectiveness of JROTC programs to meet these goals. Using National Center for Education Statistics data combined with JROTC program data and US Census Data this paper profiles current JROTC programs and test the impact of program participation on graduation rates. Using a sample of schools districts with one high school we find that schools with JROTC programs have lower graduation rates than non participants. To control of possible selection bias, we consider a subsample of only single high school districts with JROTC programs and find that length of program participation does not increase graduation rates. While the results cannot be generalized to all high schools, it does draw into question the effectiveness of JROTC programs to increase graduation rates.
