Parent Survey
Approximately 170 Beck parents responded to the parent survey. The survey was available for 17 days at the end of November through the beginning of December. According to Education Service Center Region XI, who conducted and managed the survey, results show that perceptions across the topic areas continue to remain highly favorable. Parents report that Beck is positive, welcoming and safe, while students are excited to go to school and participate in school activities. In addition, if their children have a problem, parents believe they have someone with whom to speak. Highlights from the survey include:
- 97% of parents feel welcome at Beck.
- 96% agree their child feels safe at school.
- 99% believe their child is treated fairly .
- 92% feel their child receives instruction preparing them for the next level of education.
- 95 % feels that if their child has a problem, there is someone that they can go to for help.
- 96% believe the school is clean and well maintained.
I have reviewed the survey results with my leadership team and we will develop plans to be responsive to the necessities of all of our parents. The full report is posted on the Northwest ISD website at http://www.nisdtx.org
