With new state leadership that has made educational excellence a signature priority and a growing appetite across the First State to surround our students with the educational opportunities they need to thrive, Delaware is well-positioned to deliver for families. To do so, we must listen to their perspectives and understand the opportunities they have access to and those that remain out of reach.

That belief is at the heart of our work at DelawareKidsCAN, and it is what drives the second edition of the Survey of Educational Opportunity in Delaware. Developed in partnership with 50CAN and Edge Research, this updated survey captures how families are experiencing the education system now, while also allowing us to see where views have shifted since the last edition, published in November 2024.
