Perceptual Survey Feedback
This past winter we had 41families complete our annual FCPS Perceptual Survey. This survey is a valuable tool for us to measure our educational program's effectiveness toward school and system strategic goals. As a result of the responses, our school community can glean information of things we are doing well and create action plans for areas in need of improvement. Our system and school goal is to maintain a favorability score from stakeholders on the survey of 80% or greater. I am pleased to report that our school results were above this mark in all areas evaluated! The highest area rated was 100% of families participating in the survey felt their child's school culture was positive and motivating!
Survey Positive Ratings:
Climate: 91%
Curriculum and Instruction: 89%
Engagement and communication: 91%
Safety, Health & Wellness: 94%
While we utilize this data to support our continued decision making, please know you are always welcome to reach out to your child's teacher or myself at any time to share your feedback.
Thank you for your continued partnership in your child's education!
