Survey: Mental Health Main Driver in School Selection

(From The 74 Million) Nearly half of families, especially those with middle schoolers, are considering new school options primarily due to their children's mental health, according to a recent report from Tyton Partners, a consulting firm. The survey found that 46% cited mental health concerns as a driver for change, with rates higher among middle school (54%), high school (48%), and elementary school (44%) parents. Meanwhile, 10% indicated they would transfer their child to a private school or even an alternative model like a microschool. And more than a quarter of the respondents said they would consider piecing together multiple options to provide their child a customized experience.
