In today's society, school dropout is a widespread problem in every country, regardless of whether it is a developed, developing or underdeveloped country. It is a social as well as an educational problem with multiple causes, although the dropout situation of each child differs from each other. The aim of this study is to evaluate the causes of school dropout from the perspective of school administrators and to present a description of this problem from the perspective of administrators. According to the results and evaluations obtained, the problem will be addressed comprehensively and suggestions will be made to fill the literature gap. The data obtained in the study were analyzed qualitatively using an inductive approach. School administrators working in Sakarya province participated in the study. According to the results obtained, these administrators mostly emphasized that the family factor is the main cause of the existing problems, as well as the compulsory education process, i.e. the forced attendance of the child to school, financial difficulties, academic failures of the child have significant effects on the dropout and absenteeism of the student.
