The Public, Parents, and K-12 Education: A National Polling Report [February 2023]
EdChoice
This poll was conducted between February 13-14, 2023 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) Support for ESAs, school vouchers, charter schools, and open enrollment is much greater when given a brief description. In February, support levels increased significantly across each type of school choice policy; (2) Roughly one in ten school parents report having a child enrolled in a 'microschool'. Over one-third of parents - regardless of whether or not they were given additional information - are interested in learning more about them; and (3) Almost half of parents report having at least one child taking a gifted, advanced, or honors class at their school. This report highlights findings pertaining to: (1) views on K-12 education; (2) views on schooling; (3) pods, tutoring, and extracurriculars; (4) school choice policies; and (5) survey profile and demographics.
