A Survey of the Bushong Rural High School offers a window into a 1920s rural education system and its drive for better results.

This nonfiction account chronicles how a Kansas district planned, evaluated, and funded its high school to serve students and the community. It combines descriptions of the school building, courses, staff, and finances with practical recommendations for improvement.

The material centers on the Bushong High School in Lyon County and its place within the county’s rural education landscape. It covers facilities, curriculum breadth, teacher roles, and the financial picture, as well as the district’s goals for modernization through new programs and equipment. Readers will see how administrators used data to guide decisions about staffing, libraries, and shop facilities.

Details about the school’s organization, enrollment, and facilities, including classrooms, laboratories, and athletics spaces.
Descriptions of the curriculum, from general and preparatory tracks to crafts, home economics, and vocational options.
Discussion of finances, tax levels, and how expenditures compare with other rural high schools in the county.
Proposed improvements and planning ideas, such as vocational agriculture, supervised study, and lunch programs.

Ideal for readers interested in local history, education policy, and the development of rural high schools in the early 20th century.
