Poll: 70% of Americans support expanding school choice options

(The Center Square) – Nearly 70% of Americans say that expanding educational choices for families will help improve education overall in the U.S., according to new polling.

A vast majority of Americans across all demographics support more choices, the poll conducted by YouGov for the yes. every kid. foundation found.

When asked, "If we make K-12 education more flexible for families, do you think this would improve or weaken our nation's overall education system?," 69% of respondents said it would either "stongly" improve (33%) or "somewhat" (36%) improve education.

“Americans believe more education options will improve our nation’s education system,” Matt Frendewey, vice president of the yes. every kid. foundation, said in a statement released with the polling data. “A child’s access to a great education should not be determined by their family’s income or where they live. By expanding opportunities for families to customize the education to meet their kids’ needs, we can improve education more broadly. We will continue to listen to Americans, while empowering families by removing barriers to learning.”
