The New Landscape of Small Schools

Source: WestEd's R&D Alert

Not quite rural education, but still focused upon small schools...

"The six-story, 2,600-student Julia Richman High School, where in the early 1990s a mere third of students earned diplomas and truancy and crime were rampant, no longer exists. In its place is New York City’s Julia Richman Education Complex, which houses four autonomous high schools, a middle school, and an elementary school — none enrolling more than a few hundred students. The graduation rates of its high schools average over 90 percent, and college attendance rates are similar."

For the remainder of the article, see http://www.wested.org/online_pubs/rd-05-01.pdf (pp. 6-8).
