US K-12 Education Satisfaction Plummets to Record Low

2025-09-20

A Gallup poll reveals that only 35% of Americans are satisfied with the quality of US K-12 education, a record low. This marks an 8-percentage-point drop from last year, significantly below the average of 45%. A majority believe K-12 schools are headed in the wrong direction, and ratings for preparing students for work and college are also low. While parents are generally more satisfied with their own children's education, overall public confidence in the K-12 system has eroded. This coincides with declining student scores in reading and math, and a lack of reading interest among students, pointing towards a deepening crisis in US education.

College's Importance Plummets: Only a Third of Americans Now Rate It as 'Very Important'

2025-09-17

A Gallup poll reveals a dramatic decline in the perceived value of a college education among Americans over the past 15 years. Only about a third now rate it as "very important," down from 75% in 2010. This shift is widespread across all demographic groups, with even traditionally pro-college segments showing less than half considering it "very important." While most still see some value, the perception of college as vital has significantly eroded. The high cost of college, the rise of vocational training, technological advancements like AI disrupting the job market, and the increased availability of online learning and microcredentials are potential contributing factors.
