When we talk about the need for school choice in Missouri, we are acknowledging the facts that parents overwhelmingly support choice AND the research overwhelmingly shows that school choice works. School choice benefits not only the students who choose, but also benefits the entire K-12 ecosystem in a city or community.
To help us understand the current support of school choice, we can turn to Indianapolis-based EdChoice Foundation. Each year EdChoice releases their national survey results “Schooling in America” (SIA) that looks at the opinions surrounding K-12 education in America.
The 2024 research shows the shift of American’s perspectives over the last 12 years. The survey questions this year focus on issues like technology in school, accountability and transparency, and awareness of educational choice policies (Ritter & Aldis, 2024).
