Meet the 11 Millions “Overlooked” Students in the US School System—and See Where they May Be Heading

In August, Bellwether Education Partners published an excellent piece on some of the repercussions of schooling during COVID. The report, which is called The Overlooked," describes three types of students:

The Movers: Those who changed schools from 2019-20 to 2020-21, whether within the same schooling sector, or into another;

The Missed: Those who did not enroll in formal schooling at all during 2020-21;

The Muted: Those who are frustrated with their available options but lack the ability to make the changes they would like.
