Teens and Their Schooling Perspectives: A National Polling Report [April 2024]
EdChoice
This poll was conducted between February 27-March 6, 2024 among a national sample of 1,002 Teens. The interviews were conducted online and the data were weighted to approximate a target sample of Teens based on gender, age, race, and region. Results from the full survey have a measure of precision of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points. Among the key findings are: (1) Approximately 13 percent of teens self-report being absent more than 15 days this school year. A larger proportion (19%) see their closest friends missing 15+ days so far this school year; (2) Nearly 2 in 3 teens feel that "school is boring", while almost 1 in 3 say "school is a waste of time." Just 41 percent say they "like going to school." Seventy percent of teens say "all" or "most" of their classmates are bored in class; and (3) Teens are more likely to feel a child should be older to be able to access social media, compared with the age to be allowed to own a cell phone. This report highlights findings pertaining to: (1) Teen Perspectives; (2) Schooling Experiences; and (3) Survey Profile and Demographics.
