Dear Members of the School Community, What does this mean?

This survey report tells you how parents,

students, teachers, and staff at your school

feel about important aspects of the school

learning environment. Detailed feedback can

be found in the question-by-question results

that follow. The information on this page is a

summary of results for your school. Summary

scores represent the aggregate of participant

responses to individual survey questions,

where 10 is strong agreement with the

satisfaction statement, 7.5 is agreement, 5 is

neither agreement nor disagreement, 2.5 is

disagreement, and a 0 is strong disagreement.

Year-to-year change in school performance is

shown with an arrow.
