2025 Schooling in America
Examining trends in public opinion on K-12 education, parent experiences, and school choice
Our annual SIA survey, in partnership with Braun Research, provides an opportunity to assess how Americans’ perspectives on K–12 education have shifted over the last decade. Over the course of the survey’s 13-year history, we have asked a set of recurring questions focusing on the direction of K–12 education, parents’ schooling preferences, parents’ satisfaction with their child’s schooling experiences, and public feelings towards educational choice policies. Furthermore, we include a set of new questions each year to better understand parents’ opinions on more timely issues within K–12 education. Some of the new questions this year revolve around the role of the federal government in K–12 education, school funding, and more.
