The Public, Parents, and K-12 Education: A National Polling Report [April 2024]
EdChoice
This poll was conducted between April 4-8, 2024 among a sample of 2,257 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. Results based on the full survey have a measure of precision of plus or minus 2.41 percentage points. Among the key findings are: (1) In April, at least one-third of parents have a child attending a microschool or are interested in learning more about microschools. When given a more detailed description of a "microschool," parents appear to have less interest; (2) Among microschool parents, 28% say instruction is completely virtual or online, though only 4 percent of parents interested in microschooling would prefer this instruction style; and (3) Parents say the most important considerations when choosing a microschool for their child are teaching a different curriculum than the local public schools, state accreditation, and state-licensed educators. This report highlights findings pertaining to: (1) Views on K-12 Education; (2) Schooling and Experiences; (3) K-12 Choice Profiles; and (4) Survey Profile and Demographics.
