Increasing People-Powered & Evidence-Based Student Supports
Findings from the 2023-24 National Partnership for Student Success Principal Survey
A comprehensive and representative survey of public school principals fielded by the RAND Corporation in spring 2024 shows that the nation’s schools are working hard to provide students with the people-powered supports that they need to thrive.
A September 2024 report from the Johns Hopkins Everyone Graduates Center estimates that an additional 136,000 adults provided tutoring, mentoring, college and career advising, or wraparound supports in public schools during the 2023-24 school year, compared to the 2022-23 school year. This, in combination with the estimated additional 187,000 adults providing these supports in 2022-23 when compared to 2021-22 indicates that the nation’s schools, youth-serving organizations, and others supporting youth have achieved the Biden-Harris Administration’s goal of recruiting an additional 250,000 adults into high-impact student support roles a year prior to its summer 2025 goal.
