2025 State of Education cover

2025 State of Education report

The 2025 State of Education report covers a vast array of statistics gathered from publicly available data sources and responses from a survey sent to all school districts. It delves into various topic areas, including student mental health as well as school finances, staffing and infrastructure.

Some key findings from this year’s report include:

  • More than three-quarters (77%) of school districts reported having at least one school building in need of major repair or replacement.
  • For the third year in a row, the biggest challenges faced by school leaders continue to be student mental health needs, budget pressures and staffing shortages.
  • Mandatory charter school tuition payments were the top source of budget pressure for the sixth consecutive year.
  • More than 80% of school districts reported experiencing a scarcity of qualified mental health care providers, making it the biggest challenge in connecting students to the care they need.
