Poll: Americans strongly support school choice, especially in states with new programs - The Lion

Enthusiasm for school choice continues to spread like wildfire as American parents seek more flexibility. 

New polling from yes. every kid., an education advocacy group, shows most Americans want the school choice movement to continue full steam ahead. 

The national survey found 74% of Americans want the education system to be more flexible. Over 60% said funding should follow the student. 

“There’s one clear message across the country: families, not systems, should drive education,” said Matt Frendewey, vice president of strategy at yes. every kid. 

“Polling shows broad agreement that parents deserve more flexibility and control over how and where their children learn. Together, these results point to a national realignment already reshaping education policy.” 

The survey also took a closer look at four states with new programs and found strong public support.
