Abstract: This poll was conducted between June 5-7, 2024 among a sample of 2,251 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 2.44 percentage points. Among the key findings are: (1) Almost half of parents reported their child participating in athletics programs in June, the highest participation out of any activity listed. Culture-focused programs and career preparation had the lowest levels of participation; (2) School switchers are most likely to indicate a change in schools because of bullying, excessive stress/anxiety, or their academic needs not being met at their former school; and (3) One-third of school parents say they would be extremely or very likely to move their child to a different school if their school eliminated academically advanced classes. 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.
