These polls have served to provide insight on how parents, guardians, and the general public feel about the most relevant issues related to New Orleans’ highly decentralized K-12 public education system. In previous editions of the poll, we have presented all of the findings for a given year in a single comprehensive report. This year, to expedite the release of the most timely findings, we are releasing a series of briefs covering different topic areas.  \nThis is the second brief in that series and examines parents’ and guardians’ overall feelings about the quality and features of K-12 public education in New Orleans. To capture the experiences and attitudes of a wide range of parents, as we did in 2020, we polled 1,000 public and private school parents and guardians in Orleans Parish, as well as those who homeschool their children. A total of 86% of those respondents had at least one child enrolled in a public school in Orleans Parish. A full demographic and descriptive breakdown of this sample is included on the final page of this report.  \nThis brief provides insights into how those parents and guardians feel about a range of topics related to New Orleans’ K-12 public education, including overall perceptions of New Orleans Public Schools (NOLA-PS, the local school board and authorizer for most charter schools in the city) and the performance of the city’s charter schools.  \nMethodology  \nThis is the 12th opinion poll on public education in New Orleans published by the Cowen Institute and was conducted between October 4-15th, 2021. The survey items were developed by the Cowen Institute in consultation with LJR Custom Strategies, a strategic research and consulting firm led by Principal Jennifer Johnson. The poll surveyed 1,000 adults who reside in Orleans Parish and are the parent/guardian/responsible party for one or more children who currently reside in their household and attend a K-12 school or are homeschooled. Of those adults surveyed, 85% were reached by cell phone and 15% were reached by landline. The sample was representative of the location of residence of the population of New Orleans. Findings from the full sample are subject to a sampling error of plus or minus 3 . 1% . Subgroup analyses are subject to error of up to plus or minus 10% .  \n[A full overview of question format and item-level descriptives are included on our website cowendata.org](A full overview of question format and item-level descriptives are included on our website cowendata.org).  \nThe Cowen Institute 1  \n Key Findings   \n2  \nEducation as a Key Issue in New Orleans  \n• Over the last few years, respondents are less likely to name education as a top concern when considering the issues facing New Orleans.  \n• Prior to the pandemic, the Cowen Institute frequently found education to be the top concern respondents had when asked to rank the problems facing New Orleans. However, in each of the past two years, aside from COVID-19, crime, and the economy and jobs, have been the primary concerns for parents. Education ranked third this year.1 Unsurprisingly, the economy was a particular concern for parents from lower-income households.  \n• Women, and White women in particular are more likely than men to rank education as a concern.  \n• Those citing infrastructure as their top concern doubled in the past year, from 5% then to 10% now.  \nOpinions on Education Overall  \n• The grade parents give all New Orleans public schools has improved.  \n• 48% of all respondents gave the city’s schools an A or a B grade, up 10% from 38% last year. The percentage giving schools a D or F grade fell from 16% to 11% from last year to this year as well.  \n• A majority of parents with some college or less in terms of education, and those from lower-inco","cbCaiihkPZKIh75V","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiihkPZKIh75V","pdf",1505615,"English","# Introduction\n# Methodology\n# Key Findings\n## Education as a Key Issue in New Orleans\n## Opinions on Education Overall\n## Sentiment Toward NOLA-PS and Charter Schools","[{\"question\":\"How was the survey conducted and who were the respondents?\",\"answer\":\"The poll surveyed 1,000 adults living in Orleans Parish who are parents, guardians, or responsible parties for K-12 students attending local schools or being homeschooled.
