Separated by distance and isolated in areas with fewer resources, rural schools typically don’t attract the attention of college recruiters. Traveling three hours to a school with a graduating class of 50 doesn’t make much sense.

When counselors are gone, so is a student’s roadmap toward opportunities following high school.
