New education research? A good chance it’s from North Carolina
NC has become well known for producing high-quality education research
In part, due to the fact that the state has kept track of things like student test scores, teacher demographics, and school accountability data since the ’90s. It also is one of the few states where researchers can get student data (that has been anonymized) from a third party, in this case the North Carolina Education Research Data Center that operates out of the Duke Center for Child and Family Policy.

Overall, families with children saw their wealth decline by 56 percent during that time.
