Report: In Alberta - Rural High Schools Have Higher Graduation Rates

Source: Calgary Herald - Canada

"According to the Fraser Institute's annual Report Card on Alberta's High Schools, rural students in 2003-04 were far more likely to earn diplomas than those at urban schools, especially if they attended a K-12 school. While the researchers did not analyze causal factors, a spokeswoman for Alberta Education theorized rural students have less distractions and do not get part-time jobs as early as city children. "
