Abstract
The Kentucky Education Reform Act of 1990 mandated that all schools in Kentucky demonstrate a high level of achievement within 20 years of the passage of the legislation. This article describes and discusses how local, withinschoolfactors influenced the efforts to achieve those goals oftwo schools located in different parts ofthe state. In particular, we discuss the tension created by imposing generic reform measures on very different rural places.
