1 Press Contact: Corporate Communications The Harris Poll Schools are Improving Their Grades, but Schools Remain at the Head of the Class NEW YORK, N.Y. Americans' ratings of public schools are on the rise. Just under two in ten believe U.S. public schools provide an excellent or very good education nationally, at both the primary (19% for ) and secondary (18% for ). While there's still plenty of room for improvement, both scores have improved over the last seven years (from 15% and 13%, respectively, in 2008). However, other schooling systems are getting better grades dramatically better, in the case of private schools. In particular, four in ten Americans believe private schools provide an excellent or very good education (40% each primary and secondary), while just under four in ten say the same of private schools without affiliations (38% primary, 39% secondary). These are some of the results of The Harris Poll of 2,273 U.S. adults surveyed online between July 15 and 20, Charter schools also outpace public, albeit less dramatically than their private counterparts: nationally, just over a quarter of American give charter schools excellent or very good ratings for the quality of education they provide (26% primary, 27% secondary). National ratings for charter schools have improved notably since 2008, when two in ten adults believed they provided an excellent or very good quality of education at both the primary and secondary levels (20% each). Homeschooling draws slightly stronger excellent or very good ratings than public schools as well (23% primary, 22% secondary). National homeschooling perceptions show little change since 2008, when two in ten Americans rated homeschooling excellent/very good (20% each primary and secondary). A school for every subject schools are dramatically more likely than public schools or home schooling to be seen as providing a better education in most areas measured: Education for gifted or talented children (51% private, vs. 17% public, 8% home), Preparing students for college (47% vs. 16%, 7%), Teaching foreign languages (44% vs. 16%, 6%), Art/music (43% vs. 20%, 6%), Science (42% vs. 20%, 6%) and math (42% vs. 17%, 7%), Reading & writing (38% vs. 16%, 12%) and English/literature (37% vs. 18%, 9%), and History (33% vs. 19%, 10%). schools are also most likely albeit with public schools in a closer second place to be seen as better at preparing students for employment (34% private vs. 24% public, 6% home), teaching good citizenship (32% vs. 24%, 10%), and education for special needs children (31% vs. 27%, 12%).
2 On the other hand, Americans are most likely to believe public schools are better at teaching students to get along with people from different backgrounds (54% vs. 16% private, 3% home), social skills with peers (45% vs. 25%, 4%), and physical education (41% vs. 18%, 5%). Americans don't see homeschooling at the head of the class in any of the categories tested. Do's and don'ts Nine in ten adults believe students benefit from having music included in their curriculum (89%), and 84% believe that participation in a physical education class or a sport should be a requirement for all students. These attitudes echo previous Harris Poll findings underscoring the perceived importance of music and sports participation and the dividends each can pay later in life. Strong majorities of adults also believe students benefit from having art included in their curriculum (89%) and from learning real-world skills (95%). A strong majority also believes that school uniforms are beneficial (60%), while only three in ten Americans agree that students' education benefits when classes are separated by gender (27%).

School uniforms are beneficial. Students' education benefits when classes are separated by gender. Note: Responses may not add up to 100% due to rounding Methodology This Harris Poll was conducted online, in English, within the United States between July 15 and 20, 2015 among 2,273 adults (aged 18 and over). Figures for age, sex, race/ethnicity, education, region and household income were weighted where necessary to bring them into line with their actual proportions in the population. Propensity score weighting was also used to adjust for respondents' propensity to be online. All sample surveys and polls, whether or not they use probability sampling, are subject to multiple sources of error which are most often not possible to quantify or estimate, including sampling error, coverage error, error associated with nonresponse, error associated with question wording and response options, and post-survey weighting and adjustments. Therefore, The
12 Harris Poll avoids the words "margin of error" as they are misleading. All that can be calculated are different possible sampling errors with different probabilities for pure, unweighted, random samples with 100% response rates. These are only theoretical because no published polls come close to this ideal. Respondents for this survey were selected from among those who have agreed to participate in Harris Poll surveys. The data have been weighted to reflect the composition of the adult population. Because the sample is based on those who agreed to participate in our panel, no estimates of theoretical sampling error can be calculated. These statements conform to the principles of disclosure of the National Council on Polls.
