WASHINGTON, D.C. A new Barr Foundation and Gallup study of Massachusetts high school students finds that, while many are currently learning remotely full-time, relatively few 16% say this is their preference. Half of Massachusetts students (50%) say they prefer to learn in person full-time, while about a third (34%) say they prefer a hybrid in-person/remote arrangement.
