Abstract: Nonmetro blacks continue to lag behind metro blacks and whites of all residence categories on rates of graduation from high school and college, functional literacy, preprimary and college enrollment, and adult education. Nonmetro blacks are also less likely to be in the labor force, hold white-collar jobs, or have incomes above poverty level, probably as a result of obtaining less education. Various reasons for nonmetro blacks' low standing and policy directions to improve their educational status are examined.
