| Abstract | Rural students in the United States have a lower likelihood of entering and completing college compared with their non-rural peers, despite strong high school graduation rates. Postsecondary attendance and degree attainment gaps observed across geographic regions present equity and access concerns in the high school-to-higher education pipeline. This study uses recent Texas state administrative data to explore descriptive statistics and logistic regression models examining the college matriculation, flagship attendance, and bachelor's degree completion outcomes of students who attend rural and non-rural public high schools in Texas. The estimation strategy involves a stepwise regression model approach to understand which covariates explain rural and non-rural differences. Results indicate that, after controlling for demographic background, pre-college measures, and college-related factors, rural students experience lower rates of college matriculation, flagship attendance, and bachelor's degree attainment in comparison with their non-rural peers. Findings suggest high school experience predictors (e.g. test scores, school enrollment size) explain away the rural advantage associated with college matriculation. High school experience factors similarly narrow the gap between rurality and flagship attendance. College-related ability measures (e.g. top ten percent, SAT scores) and additional background measures (e.g. parents' highest education, household income) significantly diminish the relationship between attending a rural or non-rural public high school and bachelor's degree completion. The analyses offer insights into this understudied population of rural students in Texas to provide useful policy recommendations to state lawmakers, higher education administrators, and high school educators.
