Resource Abstract:
- description: Prior to 2016, the U.S. Department of Education previously relied on legacy geographic classification framework
to support the needs of the Rural Education Achievement Program (REAP), an initiative that targets resources and provides
additional administrative flexibility for small school systems that serve rural areas. REAP adopted the NCES locale framework
when the program was reauthorized in 2015, but the EDGE program retains the REAP locale boundary layer as a resource for research.
The REAP locale framework classified all territory in the U.S. into four types of areas -- City, Urban Fringe, Town, and Rural.
Each area is divided into two subtypes based on population size (in the case of City, Urban Fringe, and Town assignments)
and proximity to metropolitan areas (in the case of Rural assignments).; abstract: Prior to 2016, the U.S. Department of Education
