Abstract
Like the traditional American farmer, the rural education researcher appears to be something of an "endangered species." Rural education research has been misunderstood, underfunded, unencouraged and, taken as a whole, the resulting collection of work has suffered for it, according to many observers. A variety of studies-notably, analyses supported by the U.S. Department of Education itselfidentify significant deficiencies in the national body of research, including available raw data, on rural schools.
