Survey says majority of teenage students are concerned about attending in-person classes this fall

Teens were also worried about getting sick from COVID-19 and their family's finances, survey reveals

One thousand teenagers between the ages of 13 and 17 were surveyed earlier this month to see how they felt about attending school classes in-person for the incoming school year.

The survey said 66% of students are concerned about attending school in-person this fall.

The survey also revealed 26% of students said they prefer in-person learning five days a week, while 36% would like a blended schedule and 30% prefer online classes only.

More than half of all respondents rated the quality of their online classes in the spring as “fair” or “poor” and 49% of students said the quality of their education will suffer due to the pandemic.

Teens were also worried about getting sick from COVID-19, their family’s financial situation worsening and their future being negatively impacted.
