Problem Parents & Drugs in School
Almost two-thirds (63 percent) of high schoolers and one in five (21 percent) middle schoolers say drugs are used, kept or sold on their school grounds. The survey also found that 44 percent of high school students and 16 percent of middle school students know a place near their school, but off school grounds, where kids go to get high.
Ninety-seven percent of all parents surveyed and 96 percent of parents who believe their teens’ schools are not drug free say it is important that their teen’s school be drug free. Yet 42 percent of parents think their teens’ school is not drug free, and only 39 percent of those parents believe making the school drug free is a realistic goal. One-third of parents believe that the presence of illegal drugs in their teen’s school does not make it more likely that their teen will try them.
