About Us
We cover inequality and innovation in education with in-depth journalism that uses research, data and stories from classrooms and campuses to show the public how education can be improved and why it matters.
Our Staff






Education is one of the most important issues of our time. Our reporters and editors push education reporting to new levels of quality, clarity, depth and breadth, to explain why education policy matters and how it’s affecting young people.
Our Impact
Our journalism drives meaningful change — spurring new legislation, improving schools and inspiring readers to engage with their local communities. By influencing policy and sparking discussions in living rooms, we make a tangible difference.
Our Partners
Our media partners allow us to reach the widest possible audience. We’ve produced stories in collaboration with many news organizations both large and small.
