2016 Schooling in America Survey: Public Opinion on K-12 Education and School Choice. Polling Paper #28
DiPerna, Paul; Catt, Andrew D.
EdChoice
The purpose of the Schooling in America Survey is to measure public opinion on, and in some cases awareness or knowledge of, a range of K-12 education topics and school choice policies. The annual snapshots consider the perceived direction of American K-12 education; views on education spending; grades and preferences for different types of schools; standardized testing; and school choice topics, such as charter schools, vouchers, education savings accounts, and tax-credit scholarships. The 2016 survey included two sets of questions with a special focus on actions parents have taken to support their child's K-12 education. The organization of this report has four main sections. The first, second, and third sections describe key findings and presents charts for additional context: (1) broad K-12 education issues and school type preferences; (2) school choice policies and reforms; and (3) parents' schooling experiences. The fourth section details the survey's methodology, summarizes response statistics, and provides additional technical information on call dispositions for landline and cell phone interviews and weighting.
