In a Pew Research Center survey released on April 4, 51 percent of U.S. adults said they believe that the nation’s public K–12 education system is on the wrong track. A significantly lower percentage (16 percent) said they believe it’s going in the right direction, and about 32 percent expressed uncertainty on the matter. The remainder didn’t answer.
