2022 Schooling in America: Exploring 10 Years of Public Opinion on K-12 Education
EdChoice
The purpose of this annual national survey is to gauge public opinion on school/educational choice policies, as well as parents' schooling experiences and preferences. Each year we also attempt to stay timely with current developments regarding school choice or K-12 education. The most recent examples include schooling during the pandemic, and this year, expanding questions about funding and K-12 education spending. EdChoice and Braun Research conducted its annual polling series to gauge the opinions of the American public (N= 1,200) and school parents (N= 1,200) on topics like the direction K-12 education is heading, parents' schooling preferences and sentiments on school choice policy, among others. Both survey samples are nationally representative of those respective populations. This survey yielded many headlines, including findings like the general public and school parents are more likely to be pessimistic about the direction of K-12 education in the country but are trending in opposite directions. Also, ESAs received more public support (76%) compared to other types of educational choice policies. Just under one out of five (19%) say they oppose ESAs. Levels are relatively unchanged since last year; however, more parents said they had heard of them. Parents, teachers, lawmakers, and other groups of individuals interested in public opinion on important topics around K-12 education will learn more about the current views of parents and the general public on many pressing questions. The following are appended: (1) Schooling in America 2022 questionnaire and topline results; and (2) Schooling in America 2022 data and methodology.
