A Comparison of Selected Effects of Student Activities Programs in A Small, Laboratory High School and A Small, Traditional High School

The purpose of this study was to compare student activity programs in a university laboratory high school and a traditional high school, to report differences in selected areas of the student activity programs and student status systems, and to make recommendations for the laboratory high school student activity program. Areas of comparison included student activity programs, methods of financing, student rate of participation, selection of sponsors, and student satisfaction with student activity programs. These questions guided the research: (1) What are the similarities and differences between two different types of high schools in opportunities created for student activities and the participation/non-participation of staff and students? (2) What are the effects of these similarities and differences on student status systems in these high schools? (3) What recommendations about the student activity program at the laboratory high school can be made which may enhance both student development and school goals?
