Computers are available to students in most U.S. high schools, but they are most likely to be available in schools in or near urban areas. Both metro and nonmetro schools outside the South are more likely to have computers available to students than are Southern schools. Although computer availability varies by how urban a county is and the region in which the county is located, actual student use of computers does not vary as much by location. Many students appear not to be using the computers available in their schools.
