Is It Time for an End-of-Year School Survey?
Now that we’re in the final stretch of the school year, it's the perfect time to reflect on what’s working and what could use a second look over the summer—especially when it comes to communication, engagement, and school perception among your key groups: Parents, students, and teachers.
These factors are at the heart of student admission and retention. One of the most effective ways to gain insight is by directly asking your community for feedback.
