Contexts and Conditions of Public K-12 Education
Published Date: December 1, 2010
As part of its ongoing assessment of regional education needs, REL Appalachia has released a new working paper, Contexts and Conditions of Public K-12 Education in Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. Based on an expansive custom dataset, the paper describes student demographics, staffing and enrollment, education revenue/expenditures, and student achievement of districts in the REL Appalachia region disaggregated by locale (i.e., urban vs. rural; Appalachian vs. non-Appalachian) and district poverty levels.
This paper, and the dataset on which it is based, were created by REL Appalachia Affiliated Researcher Jerry Johnson of Ohio University and the Rural School and Community Trust.
