Community Survey

Each year, the School Accountability Committee creates and sends a community survey with the goal of gauging overall school health and community needs, and to assess the viability of certain programs, whether in place or as possibilities for the future. The SAC then reviews the data and makes recommendations to the administration, who uses the feedback in future planning. Below you will find links to the survey results and to the administrative progress report. Please download the PDF reports for full functionality.
