The study comes at a time when young students across the country are still trying to recover from “historic” learning setbacks caused by the pandemic. After a record injection of $190 billion in federal dollars , some students’ test scores have improved but millions are still behind, a June analysis found.
“Choosing the right school for our children can have a real ripple effect on their lives — from career path and earning potential to how they’ll contribute to society,” said Luke Skurman, founder and CEO of Niche, in a press release. “Our annual K-12 rankings empower families to make informed decisions and help lay a strong foundation for their children’s futures.”
