SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT SURVEY - FAMILY PERSPECTIVE

Certain characteristics of a school can affect student learning. This survey asks for your views about our school so we can improve and provide the best possible education for your child.

It will take you 5 - 10 minutes to respond to the 30 statements about the school. The survey uses a 5-point scale, with 1 meaning you "don't agree at all" with the statement, and 5 meaning you "agree completely." (Mark the X when you don't know or the statement does not apply.) Mark one number for each statement.

Please respond honestly to each statement. All responses will be anonymous and remain confidential.
