The report's synthesis of WWC evidence on rural research context found that only dual enrollment and early college studies "documented the inclusion of rural schools," but none analyzed rural students separately, yielding no evidence of effectiveness in rural areas.

"The studies of dual enrollment and early college high schools were the only ones that documented the inclusion of rural schools, and several of the studies were conducted in neighboring North Carolina. However, none of the dual enrollment or early college high school studies included separate analyses of students who attended rural schools, so there is no evidence of program effectiveness in rural areas."
