I did think about the part of the Valley neighborhood in Syracuse along Valley Drive from around Webster's Pond south to the cityline and the area around LaFayette Road in terms of being rural. I'm not sure if they would apply though.
I wonder about the Troy City and Lansingburgh SD's in Troy, as both districts cover areas within and outside of the city of Troy. To what extent, I'm not sure though.
I guess I don't know what you're getting at, ckh....but I guess I was thinking that you wanted to know about districts where the urban/suburban/rural classifications would be identifiable. In Corning, you can't tell...because for the most part, everyone is middle class and white, whether they are from the "city" or one of the surrounding villages. The only difference would be the distance from your house to Wegman's. LOL

I was thinking in terms of the city's build environment/form rather than demographics that are associated with the term "urban". Outside of the city of Corning, the village of South Corning and Gang Mills are the other communities with a degree of racial diversity in that school district.

I think it all depends upon your definition of urban and rural. I think that Troy City and Lansingburgh extend into what I would call suburban rather than outright rural, but I'm not sure how far out the districts go out.
Jamestown Public Schools extend beyond the city line into the towns of Carroll and Kiantone, both of which are actually rural towns with just a modest bit of suburban style housing closest to Jamestown. I'm not sure how far out the JPS extends. Jamestown also has a handful of working farms within the city limits. Do those qualify as "rural" if they have cows?
OTOH, the Fredonia CSD definitely has the suburban and rural covered. I'm not sure if the village of Fredonia can be considered urban, though, although some of its neighborhoods do have an urban feels.
Dunkirk is like Jamestown. It has an urban and suburban aspect but I'm not sure if some of the outlying areas of the school district would be considered suburban or rural, even though some places do have farming activities.

Good points and I suppose that it is something that up to interpretation. For instance, this is the area of Syracuse within city limits that I thought about in terms of having a rural character: http://goo.gl/maps/b9tmV
It looks like Jamestown, Dunkirk and Fredonia would fit. Villages in many cases can look like or are essential urban. A village like Endicott comes to mind and I wouldn't be surprised if the Union-Endicott SD had all 3 environments within its boundaries.
I believe that Auburn is another district that has all 3 environments.
