The Public, Parents, and K-12 Education: A National Polling Report [July 2022]
EdChoice
This poll was conducted between July 14-July 15, 2022 among a sample of 2,200 adults. The interviews were conducted online and the data were weighted to approximate a target sample of adults based on gender, educational attainment, age, race, and region. Among the key findings are: (1) Parents most frequently reported their children participating in athletics-focused programs in July. The least common activities were culture-focused programs and those related to career preparation; (2) Parents who have paid for career-focused activities for their children report spending the most amount of money. Those who have paid for arts-focused activities report spending the least amount of money; (3) Parents point to not having enough information, high prices, and inconvenient locations as primary reasons why their child isn't able to participate in certain supplemental activities; and (4) Most often, parents point to location, a safe environment, and academic quality as the main reasons why their child is enrolled in a specific school type. This report highlights: (1) views on K-12 education; (2) views on schooling; (3) extracurricular activities; (4) school choice policies; and (5) the survey profile and demographics.
