A recent poll of parents of school-age children conducted for the Deseret News and the Hinckley Institute of Politics largely indicated satisfaction with neighborhood schools.
According to the poll results, 84% said they are satisfied with their neighborhood schools with 43% reporting they are “very satisfied” and 41% “somewhat satisfied.”
Meanwhile, 5% said they were “somewhat unsatisfied” and 8% said they were “very unsatisfied.”
“That sense of community is strong. The idea that you have parents and teachers who are working in partnership to make sure that their child and student is successful and thriving, and happy. All of those things, it’s just so important,” said Renée Pinkney, president of the Utah Education Association.
