Survey reveals issues around private school enrollment

A National School Choice Awareness Foundation survey has found that while almost two-thirds of parents considered moving their children to a different school in 2024, fewer than half of those actually did so. Shelby Doyle, vice president of the National School Choice Awareness Foundation, commented: “The percentage of parents who enrolled their children in private-sector schools… remains relatively low.” She suggested that “This may be due to the cost of attendance for families, even with the expansion of private school choice programs such as education savings accounts.” Meanwhile private school growth continues across the nation, figures show.
