A new report we have collaborated on with America’s Promise Alliance, Where Do We Go Next? Youth Insights on the High School Experience During a Year of Historic Upheaval, presents findings from a wide-ranging, national survey of more than 2,400 high school students, providing one of the most comprehensive looks yet at the high school experience during a tumultuous year marked by a global pandemic, heightened attention to racial injustice, and upended plans.

The report shares key findings around high school students’ mental health & well being, opportunities to learn about race and racism in the classroom, and the impacts of COVID-19 on their postsecondary planning.

Based on these findings, the report advises state and district leaders to prioritize support for high school students in their recovery planning for next school year and beyond. This research was generously supported by AT&T.
