2018-2019 Annual Public Education Perceptions Poll: Taking the Pulse of Public Opinion in Duval County
Jacksonville Public Education Fund
In a series of new questions in this year's poll, conducted November 26 to November 30, 2018, Jacksonville community members shared their views on what makes a high quality school. Participants said teachers and parents have a greater impact on school quality than system leaders or community groups; in essence, the closer you are to the student, the greater impact you have in the student's educational experience. Key findings include: (1) Participants said teachers, parents and school leaders were the three most important factors for school quality; (2) When determining a school's quality, participants said students' preparation for the next grade level (54.8 percent) and achievement regardless of race and income (22.5 percent) were more important than students' scores on state tests; (3) The community continues to say they value the work of teachers: When choosing a school, participants said its reputation for good teachers was the most important factor in their decision, even more than the school's grade; and (4) As in years past, most participants (70 percent) said they would support a small tax increase to benefit public schools. [This survey was conducted by the Public Opinion Research Lab (PORL) at the University of North Florida (UNF).]
