I'm sorry, but the table you provided does not include the specific data for interest coverage for Strategic Education Inc across the mentioned quarters. In order to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the interest coverage ratio, we would need the values of operating income or EBIT (Earnings Before Interest and Taxes) and the interest expense for each quarter to calculate the interest coverage ratio. Once we have this data, we can analyze the trend of the interest coverage ratio over time to assess the company's ability to meet its interest obligations.
