The National Center for Rural Education Research Networks (NCRERN) seeks to increase opportunity for rural students through the power of actionable data and evidence. NCRERN partners with networks of rural school districts to generate and evaluate strategies for improving student outcomes. For more information about NCRERN's work, see the Introduction to NCRERN's New York and Ohio Research Network. This report examines the steps rural students have taken to enter the military following graduation by presenting results from a senior exit survey administered by rural districts partnering with NCRERN in the 2020-21 and 2021-22 school years. We primarily draw on data collected in 29 districts in New York and Ohio in the 2021-22 school year. The patterns presented here may not generalize to other rural districts. For information on students' progress towards college and career postsecondary pathways, please see the other briefs in the "Pathways to Opportunity" series.
