Is the density of high schools _that_ low and availability of transport _that_ bad?
Not from the US, but I had a choice of 3 local public + one local private and like 5 or 6 that I'd considered on the train line and a few more that were further away by bus.
- repiret 5y agoIt varies by population density. Where i grew up, a small town surrounded by many rural and semi-rural areas, the nearest high school to mine was about 20mi away, and most attendees did not live in reasonable walking distance to any high school. So you had to drive, be driven, or take the school bus. Where I live now, a very rural area, there are only two high schools in a 100 mile radius.
