The inquiry was directed toward ascertaining if educational disparity existed, related to computer education between rural and urban schools. The findings of the study indicated that a disparity of educational opportunity does exist among rural schools, particularly the ones with less than 500 pupils. The study also revealed that organizational description, enrollment size, and geographic location are interrelated factors regarding computer educational opportunity.
