Rural students continue to be a very misunderstood group in American schools. These students are not exposed to the vast post-secondary career paths available.

As a result, there is a need for greater awareness and interventions created by schools to reach the needs of this student population. This project will critically analyze literature on the rural students’ experience in American Public schools and propose targeted intervention strategies such as small group counseling as a best practice for this student population.
