The Education Adventure
What School Funding, Choice, and Policy Produce for Children in Three Different Zip Codes
The children were the same age. The schools were twelve miles apart. Everything else was different.
For the parent, teacher, or voter trying to understand why two children born in the same city receive radically different educations depending on their zip code.
The Name It First Experience
Three zip codes. Four policy frameworks. One generation. The Education Adventure Charter follows children through K-12 under four funding and choice regimes. You track graduation rates, teacher retention, special education access, and family decision points. By the end, you have not been told which system is best. You have seen what each produces for three specific children.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- What do you actually understand about how education funding works — and why two children in the same city can receive radically different educations?
- What does the research show about what different education funding models actually produce — in graduation rates, college readiness, teacher retention?
- What equity question about education policy do you most want to be able to answer with evidence?
Research basis
NAEP achievement gap analyses / Chetty school district outcomes research / Jackson school spending effects research / Reardon income-achievement gap research applied to zip-code-level outcomes
