Institute  \nWHAT MATTERS IN EDUCATION  \nParents and Guardians’ Opinions on K-12 Public Education in New Orleans  \nAnnual Poll Policy Brief No. 2  \nDECEMBER 2022  \nINTRODUCTION  \nThis is the second and final brief on the Cowen Institute’s 2022 annual poll of parents’ and guardians’perceptions of K-12 public education in New Orleans. We have conducted these polls since 2007 with the intent of providing insight into how parents, guardians, and the general public view New Orleans’highly decentralized K-12 public education system. As we noted in our first poll brief for this year (released in November 2022), the questions in these polls were drafted by the Cowen Institute in consultation with our contracted polling firm, LJR Custom Strategies. The poll includes questions we ask each year to assess how opinions change overtime, as well as new questions on the most urgent topics of the moment. We began releasing the poll findings in a series of  \n81%  \nParents and guardians whose children only attend New Orleans Public Schools (NOLA-PS)  \n15%  \nParents and guardians whose children only attend private and parochial schools  \nbriefs rather than one comprehensive report starting in 2021 inan effort to make the results more digestible for the public. The first 2022 poll brief covered general perceptions about New Orleans K-12 public education; this brief explores specific education topics in greater depth.  \nTo capture the experiences and attitudes of a wide range of parents, we polled 1,000 public and private school parents and guardians in Orleans Parish, as well as a small number who homeschool their children. This year, the breakdown of respondents was as follows:  \n2%  \nParents and guardians who have some children who attend public schools and some who attend private schools  \n2%  \nParents and guardians whose children are exclusively homeschooled  \nMETHODOLOGY  \nThis is the 13th opinion poll on public education in New Orleans published by the Cowen Institute. It was conducted between September 6-15, 2022. 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. LJR has led our polling over the past five years.  \nThe 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, 90%  \nwere reached by cell phone and 10% were reached by landline. The sample was representative of the location of residence of the population of New Orleans. Findings from the full 1,000 person 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%.  \nA full overview of question format and item-level descriptives are included on our website:  \n[cowendata.org](cowendata.org)  \n2  \nCowen Institute  \nDecember 2022 3  \nOVERALL TRENDS  \nAs noted earlier, our first 2022 poll brief focused on more general perceptions about K-12 public education in New Orleans. A key conclusion of that brief was that overall sentiments about education were notably more pessimistic this year than in previous years.  \nThis brief examines responses on six specific issues. As was true with the findings in our first poll brief, throughout all six of the topics chronicles in this brief, responses often differed greatly based on the socioeconomic status of respondents. This trend in responses indicates that socioeconomic status impacts the way parents, families, and students experience K-12 public education, as well asthe resources they are able to access.  \nThe major findings for each issue examined in this report are summarized on the following page:  \nSCHOOLSELECTION  \nFamilies care deeply about students’ overall academic performance, promotion and graduation rates, teacher certification, and change in student performan","cbCailx6J0pW1F63","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailx6J0pW1F63","pdf",9800963,"English","# Introduction\n# Methodology\n# Overall Trends\n# School Selection\n# Life After Highschool\n# Feedback to NOLA-PS\n# Transportation\n# Extracurricular Activities\n# Absenteeism","[{\"question\":\"What survey did the brief use to gather parents’ and guardians’ opinions?\",\"answer\":\"The brief is based on a 2022 opinion poll of 1,000 adults in Orleans Parish who are parents, guardians, or responsible parties for one or more K-12 children attending school or being homeschooled.\"},{\"question\":\"How did the brief assess what schools families value when selecting a school?\",\"answer\":\"Families prioritized overall academic performance, promotion and graduation rates, teacher certification, and year-over-year changes in student performance, while standardized test performance was the least important factor.\"},{\"question\":\"Which channels did respondents prefer for providing feedback to NOLA-PS?\",\"answer\":\"Respondents favored providing feedback through meetings and forums, or by responding to texts or phone calls, while there was less support for in-person focus groups or interviews.\"}]","WHAT MATTERS IN EDUCATION - Annual Poll Policy Brief No. 2 | PDF",1792048545,23]
