To do this, we surveyed 3,757 U.S. parents with at least one child younger than 18 (including 3,251 who have a child in a K-12 school) from Sept. 20 to Oct. 2, 2022. Because parents with multiple children in K-12 schools may have different answers to these questions depending on the child or the school they attend, these parents were randomly assigned to think about their youngest or oldest child who is in K-12 when answering these questions. The data was weighted to account for the probability of being assigned to a child in elementary, middle or high school and is representative of all parents of students at each of these stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most parents who took part are members of the Center\u2019s American Trends Panel (ATP), an online survey panel that is recruited through national, random sampling of residential addresses. This survey also included an oversample of Black, Hispanic and Asian parents from Ipsos\u2019 KnowledgePanel, another probability-based online survey web panel recruited primarily through national, random sampling of residential addresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Address-based sampling ensures that nearly all U.S. adults have a chance of selection. The survey is weighted to be representative of the U.S. adult population by gender, race, ethnicity, partisan affiliation, education and other categories.

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/business\/pandemic-learning-loss-is-a-national-crisis\/2022\/09\/14\/6d2a9706-340c-11ed-a0d6-415299bfebd5_story.html\">studies show<\/a> that learning loss was more severe for Black and Hispanic students, White parents (66%) are more likely than Black (50%), Hispanic (55%) and Asian parents (50%) to say that the first year of the pandemic had a negative impact on their children\u2019s education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Income is another factor: A greater share of upper-income parents (68%) say their children\u2019s education was negatively affected, compared with middle- and lower-income parents (63% and 54%, respectively).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The patterns are similar when it comes to the impact of the pandemic on children\u2019s emotional well-being. White parents (53%) are more likely than Black (39%), Hispanic (41%) and Asian parents (40%) to say the first year of the pandemic had a negative effect on their children\u2019s emotional well-being. And a higher share of upper-income parents (57%) than middle- or lower-income parents say the same (49% and 43%, respectively).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Parents\u2019 views on the emotional impact of the first year of the pandemic also differ by the age of their children. Parents of high school and middle school students (57% and 50%, respectively) are more likely than parents of elementary school students (43%) to say the emotional effect was negative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When asked whether the effects of the first year of the pandemic are still a factor for their children today, the results are mixed. Among parents who say the first year of the pandemic had a negative impact on their children\u2019s education, a majority (56%) say the negative effect was only temporary. Still, 44% say it is still having an effect today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These assessments don\u2019t differ substantially across key demographic groups, but there are differences by the type of school children attend. Parents who were answering about a child in a public school were more likely than those answering about a child in a private school to say there is still a negative effect on their child\u2019s education today (45% vs. 36%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-310-wide\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-11333\" href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/short-reads\/2022\/10\/26\/most-k-12-parents-say-first-year-of-pandemic-had-a-negative-effect-on-their-childrens-education\/ft_2022-10-26_covidk12_03-png\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"dfe2e1\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #dfe2e1;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/10\/ft_2022.10.26_covidK12_03.png?resize=480,712 480w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/10\/ft_2022.10.26_covidK12_03.png?resize=620,920 620w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" height=\"460\" width=\"310\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/10\/ft_2022.10.26_covidK12_03.png?w=310\" alt=\"A bar chart showing that among those who saw a negative emotional impact on their kids in first year of pandemic, Black parents are the most likely to say it hasn\u2019t improved\" class=\"wp-image-11333 not-transparent\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to the emotional impact of the pandemic, most parents who say there was a negative effect in the first year say things are better now (74%). But these attitudes differ by race and ethnicity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among parents who say the first year of the pandemic had a negative effect, White (77%) and Hispanic parents (73%) are more likely than Black parents (61%) to say their children\u2019s emotional well-being has gotten better. Roughly four-in-ten Black parents say the negative effects of the first year of the pandemic have persisted or gotten worse. This compares with about a quarter of White and Hispanic parents. (There are too few Asian parents to analyze separately on this question.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Upper-income parents who say the first year of the pandemic had a negative effect on their children\u2019s emotional well-being are more likely than middle- or lower-income parents to say their children are doing better now in this regard (81% vs. 73% and 70%,
