17% of Oklahomans are Satisfied with OK Public Schools

…from the Okahoma Council of Public Affairs (OCPA):

“Results from a new public opinion survey taken in Oklahoma in late April indicate that more than 4 of 5 voters – 83 percent – believe an Oklahoma public school is not the place to obtain the best education for their children. The survey was this week by OCPA and the Friedman Foundation for Educational Choice, along with eight other co-sponsors.

“The survey touched on such issues as tax-credit scholarships, public school funding, and school choice. The results of the poll – the first of its kind conducted in the state – indicate divided public opinion on the quality of Oklahoma’s public school system.

“The scientifically representative poll of 1,200 likely Oklahoma voters was conducted April 25-27 by Strategic Vision, an Atlanta-based public affairs agency whose polls have been used by Newsweek, Time Magazine, BBC, ABC News, and USA Today among others. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.”
