Abstract: From December 2025 to February 2026, we surveyed a nationally representative sample of thousands of Americans and school parents on topics such as the new Federal Tax Credit for Scholarships, how parents grade their child's school and prioritize certain class subjects, and plenty more. Highlights from what we learned: (1) Both school parents and the public are supportive of the new Federal Tax Credit for Scholarships; (2) School parents are much more likely than the general public to say they've heard about the new federal tax credit; (3) Private school parents are over 20-points more likely than public school parents to rate their child's school as an "A"; and (4) School parents lack trust in both Democrats and Republicans to make good decisions about K-12 education.
