It is also true, though not presented here, that the lack of social capital in the family makes little difference in dropout rates in Catholic schools-or, in the terms I have used, social capital in the community compensates in part for its absence in the family. See Coleman and Hoffer (1987, chap. 5).

XREF: Connect to Coleman's broader framework of social capital and its compensating effects across family, school, and community. Builds on: "Community social capital reduces dropout rates more than school structure alone"
