Given the huge increase in the number of American families able to choose their child's school, the time is ripe to ask, "What do parents want?" Whereas before, millions of parents were hemmed in by school policies that required their child to attend a residentially assigned traditional public school, now more and more states are supporting more and more choice inside and outside of the public school system. To understand parental wants, needs, and desires, EdChoice partnered with the research firm Morning Consult to survey a nationally representative sample of more than 1,500 American parents in early November 2023. Overall, this survey paints a nuanced and at times contradictory picture of what parents want and how they prioritize their various preferences. That said, people are complicated, and America is a big, diverse country, so it shouldn't be surprising to see disagreements and inconsistencies. Those notwithstanding, this survey offers a fascinating insight into the minds of America's parents. What they have to say is worth listening to.
