This is a study on school desertion in Plantel VI of the Academic Preparatory Unit of the Universidad Autónoma de Zacatecas (UAZ). The study was conducted with students of the 2016-2019 generation, from the time they enrolled in the first semester until they completed the fourth semester. The general objective was to know the factors that determined the school dropout of some of the members of the 2016-2019 generation. The research design was mixed. The results showed that of the 103 young people who entered Plantel VI in 2016, only 77 students concluded it in 2019; nine more concluded high school in another year or campus, the rest dropped out. The socioeconomic situation and the academic-administrative influenced the adolescents who dropped out. The social context dominated unfavorably in the educational and cultural progress of the students of Plantel VI. The adolescent dropouts did not break away from family patterns. Likewise, they were not offered an education oriented to satisfy their interests and needs. School dropout was multifactorial, aggravated by the context. Dropouts left school because of the economic conditions in which they lived, delinquency, early pregnancies and traditional teaching that was out of touch with reality.
