Here are the 2,280 Educational Support Services companies tracked in the United States, ranked by disclosed equity funding and recent funding momentum, with $7.6B in total disclosed capital across the directory.
Median revenue across validated filers sits at $198M, growing at a modest 3% YoY. That's a steady sector, not a flashy one. But look at the outliers: Graham Holdings Co pulled $4.9B in revenue, 25 times the sector median, while Stride, Inc. posted $621M at a faster 13% clip. Strategic Education, Inc. and Perdoceo Education Corp round out the filed revenue pool, which totals roughly $6.4B combined. And the consumer-facing software side isn't sleeping either, with median install growth of 20% YoY across 86 tracked apps. The hot conversation right now centers on tuition scholarships, student aid, and college fees, which tells you something about where user anxiety, and therefore user attention, is concentrated.
So if you're sizing up which operators have real earned revenue behind them, I'd start with the filers. Funding leaders like Lacoe ($2.6B disclosed) and Ucar ($1.4B) anchor the directory, with government bodies including ED, HHS, and the National Science Foundation among the most active investors in the space. No unicorns here. What you get instead is institutional scale, public-sector backing, and a handful of revenue machines that dwarf everything around them.
