School is the single most influential factor in school-aged children's growth and social dynamics, according to Guterman and Neuman (2017a). An increasing number of K-12 parents in the U.S. adopt Maslow's hierarchical needs theory when considering K-12 education for their children. According to this theory, safety is the first motivational need for any human being, and only when this need is met can higher-order needs like the desire to learn be met (McLeod, 2023). Due to the safety risks in public schools, parents are now increasingly choosing private/homeschooling. Academic and curricular quality remains a top priority by parents when selecting a private school or homeschooling environment for their children, followed by a small class size, low student-teacher ratio, strong test scores, high teacher quality, and the inclusion of moral values (Schneider et al., 2000; Stewart & Wolf, 2014; Teske & Schneider, 2001). Erickson (2017) stated that attributes of private schools (e.g., safety, religious instruction, school location, extracurricular activities) have become increasingly appealing to parents because of limitations in these attributes within public schools
