| Abstract: | Pew Research Center conducted this study to better understand teens' views on their school experiences, friendships and future plans. The Center conducted an online survey of 1,391 U.S. teens ages 13 to 17 from September 18 to October 10, 2024, through Ipsos. Ipsos recruited the teens via their parents, who were part of its KnowledgePanel. The KnowledgePanel is a probability-based web panel recruited primarily through national, random sampling of residential addresses. The survey was weighted to be representative of U.S. teens ages 13 to 17 who live with their parents by age, gender, race and ethnicity, household income, and other categories. Questions in this report that focus on students' experiences in their school were not asked of the 91 students who said they are homeschooled. The report finds that, while there is some common ground, many of the problems and pressure points teens are dealing with differ significantly for boys and girls. In addition, many teens see imbalances in how boys and girls are experiencing school and how they're performing academically. |
