The U.S. News & World Report’s 2027 rankings of the best colleges in the nation come out Tuesday. 

The rankings are contentious, and have long been criticized for prioritizing prestige over social mobility and return on investment. But they are also widely seen as a tool by parents and prospective students in their college search.

The DMN Education Lab deepens the coverage and conversation about urgent education issues critical to the future of North Texas.
