Abstract	In this report, the authors examine the responses of Indiana school parents from all sectors to a survey--developed by EdChoice and conducted by Hanover Research--that aims to measure what motivates them to choose schools, their children's schooling experiences, their awareness of school choice options, their satisfaction levels, and the goals they set for their children's education. The findings in this report come from an original survey of parents whose children are enrolled in Indiana's schools, broken down into five distinct segments: voucher parents, tax-credit scholarship parents, public district school parents, public charter school parents, and non-choice private school parents--parents who pay for private schooling out of pocket rather than with the assistance of a school choice program. This report addresses five research questions: (1) What motivates parents to leave one school for another school? (2) How important are academic quality, safety, and transportation to their decisions? (3) How difficult is it for parents to find the preferred schools for their children? (4) How satisfied were parents with their current and former schools? (5) What level of importance do parents place on a variety of educational goals for their children? (ERIC).
