  Why Rural Matters in Hawaii
Among the least rural states in the nation, Hawaii nonetheless ranks high in the percentage of rural children who are poor or minority, and in the percentage of schools and students located in rural communities. These factors combine to make rural education very important. Rural schools are big, but the state leads the nation in the percentage of its rural schools suffering declining enrollment. Student computer use is very high. Overall, Hawaii's rural schools are in serious need of policy attention.
