Part 1: School Choice for Rural Families gives an overview of how rural schools are funded and the disproportionate impact on rural schools when even small numbers of students leave to use vouchers at private schools.

Part 3: School Choice - Where the School Chooses You provides an honest look at the exclusivity of private schools and the reality of accessibility of private education for parents.
