Education Reform Now (ERN) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that analyzes public education policy across elementary through postsecondary levels. It conducts research and develops policy recommendations intended to increase resources and advance innovative reforms, prioritizing students of color and those from low-income families. Its work informs education policy discussions on Capitol Hill and in state legislatures, spanning federal, state, and local arenas. ERN seeks forward-looking changes across the education system and aims to align policies in ways that reinforce each other to improve outcomes. Based in Washington, District of Columbia, the organization is a small to midsize entity operating in the public policy space. In May 2023, ERN published the second edition of its Social Mobility Elevator rankings, a concrete milestone in its ongoing evaluation of pathways to opportunity in education.
