One recent study—focused on Massachusetts schools—aims to add context about the grades and demographics for which schools have experienced the biggest and most sustained losses, said Joshua Goodman, an associate professor of education and economics at Boston University, during a recent webinar presenting the findings.
Goodman and co-author Abigail Francis, a graduate student, used enrollment data from Massachusetts because it is more current than national data, which lags, he said. Researchers compared pre-pandemic enrollment projections with actual enrollment.
