Public Opinion Survey On Education Released
(UNDATED) - The Center For Evaluation and Education Policy has released the results of the fifth annual public opinion survey on K-12 education in Indiana.
It finds public attitudes are slightly down regarding the overall quality of schools in the state.
The survey gauged the attitudes and perceptions of a representative sample of Hoosiers on key educational issues. 50 percent of respondents answered that public schools in Indiana are "excellent' or "good", down 5 percentage points since the first survey in 2003.
61-percent of Hoosiers responded that their own local schools are "excellent" or "good", but the number responding that their schools are "excellent' is down 6 percentage points from the 2006 survey.
The percentage of respondents who said their local school was "poor" rose 2 percentage points in this year's poll.
Survey co-authors Terry Spradlin and Nathan Burroughs presented their findings to the Indiana State Board of Education during its monthly meeting in Indianapolis Wednesday.
