Post-pandemic parent concerns: Eye-opening data schools need to see
Parents are worried. The post-pandemic landscape has revealed troubling changes in their children—shifts in behavior and academic challenges that may hinder future potential. Right now, schools are striving to keep pace with the growing need for timely evaluations and lack of clinical support. A recent survey dives into current parent concerns, providing schools with key insights that can drive decisions that better serve families.
Almost two-thirds of parents worry their child isn’t reaching their full potential
Our survey of 2,000 parents of school-aged children sheds light on concerns about student development and underscores the importance of psychoeducational evaluations to identify students who need targeted support. The data reveals compelling evidence of parents’ anxieties following the disruptions of the pandemic and the urgent need for new solutions that address these issues.
20% of parents notice something concerning about their child every day
50% of parents believe their child was set back academically during the pandemic
Almost half think their child is still ‘playing catch-up’ in core subjects
“The COVID-19 pandemic brought unprecedented challenges that affected an entire generation of students. Survey results found that 72% of parents believe learning loss is fixable. This ongoing impact is a call to action for schools and communities to come together, working to support students in every environment to shape brighter academic futures.”
