Since 2006, more than 350,000 students in over 40 states have taken the High School Survey of Student Engagement (HSSSE), in which they were asked why they were disengaged or if they have ever considered dropping out, and why.
Engaging in learning activities is an active action. It takes focus. But since focusing can be tiring, students will often decide to “switch off” if they don’t find the effort rewarding enough. This is where boredom comes in. According to the HSSSE, Two out of three respondents (66%) in 2009 are bored at least one day a week in class in high school; nearly half of the students (49%) are bored every day and approximately one out of every six students (17%) are bored in every class.

The Gallup Student Poll surveyed nearly 500,000 students in grades five through 12 from more than 1,700 public schools in 37 states in 2012. We found that nearly eight in 10 elementary students who participated in the poll are engaged with school. By middle school that falls to about six in 10 students. And by high school, only four in 10 students qualify as engaged.
