Community Conversations
September 2022
Dear Methacton Families,
Welcome to the start of another exciting and extraordinary school year. There is a great deal happening in Methacton and the showing of parents to all the recent back to school nights is indicative of your support and commitment to the education of your child and the success of our community. So it is with great pride that I share that:
Methacton is on the Rise!
Methacton School District, in its strategic quest to provide an “Exceptional Methacton School District Experience for All”, is progressing well towards increasing its rank. Recent Niche ranking moves us up to 51st in the State. Another recent ranking placed Methacton among the top high schools in the September 2022 Philly Magazine Best Of (Bucks/Chester/Delaware/Montgomery counties) list.
Here you will find current ranking trends among several of the major publications we are following:
District rank is only one of two priority goals within our strategic plan that we are looking to increase. The second goal is to increase constituent favorable feedback by 25%. To do this, we have a number of staff, student, parent, and community centered strategies that take aim at customer service, communication, school spirit and climate. We will measure our progress with surveys distributed two times per year over the next 5 years.
A survey of students (grades 6-12), parents, staff, and community is scheduled to be open from October 16 through the 21st. The parental review/opt out of the student survey is to be sent on October 7. I want to thank everyone in advance for taking time to provide us feedback. The student, parent and staff survey will be issued via email while post cards are being mailed into the community with the survey being available here on the 16th.
You can see the strategic plan here and follow our progress on strategy implementation here.
