ABOUT ERN

America’s education system is at a critical juncture. For too many students—especially those from low-income communities or historically underserved backgrounds—our current approach is falling short. Long-standing opportunity gaps persist, traditional methods aren't keeping pace with today's demands, and the stakes for our students have never been higher.

But within these challenges lies enormous potential. New research, better data, and increased public attention on education provide a unique opportunity to rethink how we truly deliver on high-quality education across the country.

That’s where Education Reform Now (ERN) comes in. ERN is a national, non-profit research and advocacy organization committed to ensuring that every student across the nation has access to the education they need to thrive. We focus on bold, evidence-based policies that drive real change for real results. Working at the federal, state, and local levels, we translate research into action and push for meaningful implementation to improve outcomes for millions of students nationwide.
