The study investigated the effectiveness of Counselling in reading the rate of school dropout among secondary school students in Ondo State. Three research questions on causes, effect and counselling measures were formulated while descriptive survey design was adopted. Samples of 150 teachers were drawn from ten (10) secondary schools in Akure South local government area of Ondo State. A 36-item out was (CFRSD) was used for data collection while frequency count and percentages were used to analyse the data. It was observed that poverty, lack of interest in schooling, poor academic performance are some of the causes of school dropout. It was also gathered that many school dropout would become social menace and that counselling would be an unquantifiable measure for reducing the spate of school dropout in our country. Adequate suggestions for teachers, parents and government to forestall further deterioration and loss of manpower through school dropout syndrome.
