Abstract: This study looks at what it means to be successful in an alternative high school comprised primarily of adolescents who had been unsuccessful and/or marginalized in their previous schools. This paper uses ethnographic methods to focus on two students who were successful in the alternative school and the ideational resources those students used to participate in and reflect on the school. Two ideational resources are highlighted in this analysis a critique of mainstream education and a focus on community education, providing insights into ways to re-engage students in school.
