Examines rural educational reforms in a small, isolated, economically disadvantaged Ohio school; an advantaged Michigan school; and an Iowa elementary school with a growing Hispanic population. Common elements contributing to reform success: supportive school culture, attention to change principles, research-based strategies, local adaptations, added resources, small size, motivation by rural "insecurity," and school-community integration.
