Abstract: The evaluation of a public tax-supported alternative school is described. The emphasis is upon the problems involved in the evaluation of this kind of school and suggested methods of overcoming them. A post-pre design combined with control groups is described, and the pros and cons of involvement and detachment on the part of the evaluators is considered. The problems associated with reactivity of the program staff and students to the evaluators are discussed. The main findings and results are presented. (Author)
