Phi Delta Kappa/Gallup Poe: Public's Attitudes Toward Public Schools

The Institute for Education and the Arts is posting a notice about the just released Phi Delta Kappa/Gallup Poll.

Annual Phi Delta Kappa/Gallup Poll of Public’s Attitudes Toward Public Schools Released

The annual Phi Delta Kappa (PDK)/Gallup Poll on key education issues shows once again this year that most respondents have a positive opinion of their local public schools, but have an unfavorable view of the quality of schools nationwide. More respondents also claim to have a greater knowledge of No Child Left Behind than in previous years, and nearly 58% feel that the federal education law is hurting or making no difference in education policy. The majority of those polled also believe that that individual student improvement (growth models) should be used to measure a school’s performance. To read more about the survey, click
