Rural Schools--Fewer Highly Trained Teachers and Special Programs, But Better Learning Environment

Dale Ballou and Michael Podgursky

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1995, vol. 10, issue 3

Abstract: Rural schools are smaller than metro schools. Fewer rural than urban teachers have completed advanced degrees, and fewer rural students have access to advanced or remedial courses. The smaller size of rural schools maybe an advantage in other ways, however, including smaller classes, more attention from teachers, and a less stressful learning environment.
