Today, nearly 1 in 4 American households do not have reliable home internet. Of this population, students are among those hit hardest, with recent data estimating upwards of 12 million students are without home Internet. In rural America where internet options can be limited, the gap grows wider. In a recent study on students across the nation, 24% of teens who live in lower income households say they at least sometimes are not able to complete their homework because they do not have reliable access to a computer or internet connection.
