Hi Reader,
Every day, numbers—test scores, graduation rates, budgets, rankings—dominate the national conversation about education.
But behind those statistics are students, teachers and families whose experiences reveal what those numbers really mean.
At The Hechinger Report, we go beyond the data to uncover the human stories shaping education across the country, connecting evidence to experience, and shining a light on how policies affect people’s lives from early childhood through college and beyond.
Today, we’re kicking off our end-of-year NewsMatch campaign, our most important fundraising effort of the year. Thanks to NewsMatch, every dollar you give will be doubled through December 31.
Here’s what member support helped illuminate:
-
How early intervention can change a child’s trajectory, and why too few families can access it
-
What federal education cuts mean for schools and teachers
-
How communities are rethinking high school to better prepare students for the workforce
These are the stories behind the statistics, and they exist because of readers like you.
Join us today to help us reach our goal of attracting 175 new donors by the end of the year. Your partnership will help ensure that independent, fact-based reporting on education continues in 2026 and beyond.
