| Abstract | This study sought to examine student perspectives of school characteristics within an Alternative Education setting. Key characteristics of Alternative Education include social connections or supportive relationships, self-efficacy or individuality, and organizational environment. Female and male students of various ethnic groups attending a county community school were surveyed with the elementary version of the What is Happening in this Classroom instrument. Students rated their perceptions of their experiences via a Likert scale. Significant differences were observed on all school characteristics between female and male students. Differences were also observed between ethnic groups on school characteristics but only significantly between Black and Hispanic students. |
