About this file

This document provides instructions for determining the urban/rural classification of a location using the National Center for Education Statistics Locale Lookup online tool. The instructions outline the steps to search for a school, district, address, or town, select the desired location on the map, and identify the two-digit locale code. This information is required to be submitted on the Coversheet for the FY2025 Farm To School Grant State Agency opportunity.

The FY2025 Farm To School Grant State Agency is a 24-month grant program from the USDA Food and Nutrition Service that provides up to $500,000 in funding to state agencies to support and grow farm to child nutrition program efforts. State agencies are the only eligible applicants and must provide a minimum 25% match. This grant is one of three funding opportunities under the Patrick Leahy Farm to School Grant Program in FY2025.

Appendix A: Urban/Rural Classification Instructions To determine urban/rural classification, please use the National Center for Education Statistics Locale Lookup online tool.

1. Go to the search site.

2. Click in the field marked “Search by Location”. Type in a school name, district name, physical address, or town. As you type, the tool will begin populating suggestions as a dropdown menu. Once your desired site or location appears in the list, click on it. (Tip: You may also narrow your search criteria by clicking the down arrow next to the search field and selecting one of the displayed options that is relevant to your search).

3. After you have selected the desired location, the location will be displayed on the map as a gray dot. Click directly on the dot to display the locale code. Clicking anywhere else on the map will display the code for the area that you clicked, not the location you searched.

The dot will turn red for the location that has been selected on the map.

4. Once the location is selected, the locale code will display on the upper left of the map. See screenshot below. Enter the two-digit classification code (e.g., 11, 12, 31) on the Coversheet.
