15 Student poverty rate Rural 900 Districts compared to major urban school districts 45% 40% 35% 30% 25% 20% 15% 10% 5% 0% 16% 22% 27% 29% 30% 31% 33% 34% 37% 39% 39% 15

16 Characteristically rural challenges Concentrated poverty in dispersed locales Small scale means higher cost High transportation costs Low levels of adult education Very little public transportation Minimal public facilities Lagging telecommunication infrastructure Poor access to health care and social services Undiversified local economies with low-paying, low-skill jobs 16

17 Characteristically rural school assets Greater participation -- people are needed Kids experience safety and belonging Good teaching methods are easier to use Teachers feel better about their work; instruction can be individualized Less tracking and higher expectations Multi-age classes promote personalized learning and positive social skills Smaller districts mean less bureaucracy Wider grade spans mean fewer transitions to new schools 17

18 RURAL EDUCATION IN CALIFORNIA 18

19 California s Unique Rural Snapshot Highest percentage of small rural districts and the 13th largest absolute rural student enrollment Largest percentage of rural ELL (English Language Learners) students in the nation and one of the highest percentage of rural minority students Rural high school graduation rate is higher than most states Rural NAEP scores in Grades 4 and 8 are below average Number of rural students has increased substantially, with only nine states showing more absolute growth; 19

20 Implementing a Rural Community School Strategy States and rural districts should develop a rural teacher recruitment strategy that emphasizes the benefits of teaching in a community school Rural schools and districts should remove barriers to substantive parental and community engagement in schools New school planning should incorporate multiple related community needs 20

21 Implementing a Rural Community School Strategy States should help to reduce financial risk to community school partners when they undertake new construction Congress and state legislatures should provide incentives for, and place special emphasis on, the development and implementation of community schools as a turnaround strategy for high-needs Title I and other low-performing schools in rural areas Congress and state legislatures should increase investments in community schools 21
