Best Answer

Rural schools in the United States usually must meet two requirements to be eligible for rural school funds.

1) The area must have a resident density of less than 10 people per square mile.

2) Most states have limits on school sizes to qualify for rural school fund. The limit is usually less than 600 students. Most rural schools are much smaller than the 600 student limit, and schools with 20 to 200 students make up the majority.

Rural schools exist in locations where the distance to the closest city or suburban school is excessive or too dangerous for students to commute on a daily basis. For example, some rural schools are located in difficult to access mountain areas while others are located in farming areas that are significant distances from a population center.

Hope this helps.

What is the difference between an Urban Suburban and Rural school?

Urban schools are located in cities with high population density, suburban schools are in residential areas surrounding cities, and rural schools are in sparsely populated areas. Urban schools may have more diversity and resources but face challenges like overcrowding. Suburban schools often have more funding and resources, while rural schools may struggle with limited resources and access to technology.
