Elementary and Secondary Education

Public education is one of the foundational principles of American society and youth spend a significant amount of their lives in schools. But access to a high quality education remains uneven, with disparities impacting educational opportunities and outcomes. Leveraging deep expertise in education policy, YPL’s research in this area has included the study and evaluation of programs and policies for kindergarten through 12th grade. Our work spans a variety of subjects and contexts, aimed at improving educational outcomes for youth.
