This Data Point uses data from the 2019 Parent and Family Involvement Survey of the National Household Education Surveys Program (PFI-NHES). The 2019 PFI collected data about students in kindergarten through grade 12. The survey explored many aspects of families' experiences with schooling, including how parents reported choosing schools for their children to attend. This report explores the types of schools that children attended, whether parents reported considering schools other than the one their child attends, and the percentage of students whose parents reported selected reasons as being "very important" when choosing a school. For the report, "public assigned schools" are schools that a local public school district assigned based on where the family lived; "public chosen schools" are public schools that were different from the school the district assigned; "private religious schools" are private schools that belonged to a particular religion or faith; and "private nonreligious schools" are private schools that were not religious.
