THE STATE OF THE AMERICAN STUDENT: FALL 2022 - Executive Summary

8 Sep 2022

It outlines the contours of the crisis American students have faced during the Covid-19 pandemic and begins to chart a path to recovery and reinvention for all students—which includes building a new and better approach to public education that ensures an educational crisis of this magnitude cannot happen again. [...] The academic, social, and mental-health needs are real, they are measurable, and they must be addressed quickly in order to avoid long-term consequences to individual students, to the future workforce, and to society. [...] • At the pace of recovery we are seeing today, too many students of all races and income levels will graduate in the coming years without the skills and knowledge needed for college and careers. [...] The inaugural report provides an initial account of the damage done and debts owed to students, a roadmap for organizing research and community action around the most pressing concerns, and a call to act on what the data tell us. [...] We’ve helped collect and spotlight promising uses of federal recovery funding, we’re continuing to gather and share the latest pandemic-related data on schools and families, and we’re studying the practices of innovative schools that might hold promise for replication and expansion.
