Abstract	A survey of rural New York residents examined community opinions about various traditional and nontraditional school performance criteria that could be used in a local "school report card." Completed surveys were received from 1,821 residents of 29 of the 245 small and rural school districts that participate in the New York Rural Schools Program. Less than 60 percent of respondents felt that it was easy to obtain information about their school or that they were well informed about the school. Bar graphs indicate public opinion about access to information on various aspects of student success, school environment, test results, staffing characteristics, program offerings, facilities information, student services, student characteristics, attendance and discipline, and school finance. Results were compared with those from a similar national survey. New York respondents were most interested in receiving information on student services and standardized test results, while the national sample was most interested in school environment and program offerings. Appendices contain survey letters, the survey questionnaire, and response rates on each survey item for each participating school district. (SV)
