December 19, 2023

GSEHD master's student Jeanette Luna (Education Policy) co-wrote a report published on the Thomas B. Fordham Institute's website titled, "The Education Competition Index: Quantifying competitive pressure in America’s 125 largest school districts." Ms. Luna is a development and research associate at the Thomas B. Fordham Institute.

In this report, Fordham analysts David Griffith and Jeanette Luna use data from multiple sources to estimate how much competition the 125 largest school districts in the United States face for students, how the answer to that question differs by student group, and how the competition facing each district has increased or decreased in the past decade.
