A recent national survey by Gallup and the Walton Family Foundation reveals concerning trends about school engagement among Gen Z students (ages 12-18). School engagement has declined, with many middle and high school students finding their education less interesting than last year. Only about half feel they are being challenged positively, and the issue is particularly pronounced among those who do not plan to attend college immediately after high school. The survey highlights that many students feel disconnected from their schoolwork and less engaged compared to the previous year.
