      abstract = {In this follow-up to her bestselling book, Why Our Schools  Need the Arts, Jessica Hoffmann Davis addresses the  alarming drop-out rate in our high schools and presents a  thoughtful, evidence-based argument that increasing arts  education in high school curriculum will keep kids in  school. Davis shares compelling voices of teachers and  their adolescent learners to demonstrate how courses in the  arts are relevant and valuable to students who have  otherwise become disenfranchised from school. This  important book points the way toward rescuing the American  high school from inside out by insuring that all students  benefit from the compelling and essential learning  opportunities that the arts uniquely provide.},
