District posts K‑12 Insight survey: strong overall satisfaction, lower scores on family communication and food quality
Summary
The district’s K‑12 Insight survey showed increases in overall satisfaction among parents, staff and students compared with last year; highest scores were for perceived quality of education and student‑staff relationships, while lower scores were seen on communication about helping children at home and food quality.
District administrators presented highlights from the 2025 K‑12 Insight school‑climate survey and said responses increased in most categories compared with last year.
Key findings the presenters shared: 88% of parents and guardians, 97% of campus‑based staff and 87% of students rated their school as excellent or good. The district outperformed the K‑12 national benchmark in several measures. Other strengths included perceptions of safety, access to computers and the presence of supportive adults.
Lowest‑ranking items included family communication about how to help children at home, food quality (32% of parents disagreed or strongly disagreed), and student enthusiasm about going to school; the presenters noted that a 27% disagreement still means 73% of parents agreed or strongly agreed with the positive statement. For staff, professional development opportunities and influence on decision making were areas for improvement.
Why it matters: The committee and administrators said survey results will inform school improvement planning and professional development priorities; principals will integrate selected indicators into school plans and the committee may request comparative slides showing stakeholder groups side‑by‑side.
What was said: Presenters noted the district’s responses rank above national averages in several categories and that the district has increased response counts among staff and students. Committee members asked for last year’s full report to be added to the public packet for side‑by‑side comparison and asked staff to work with K‑12 Insight to produce single‑slide comparisons of parent, staff and student responses on identical questions.
Next steps: Administrators will add the full K‑12 Insight report to the public packet, share trend comparisons with past years and incorporate relevant indicators into the June 17 workshop on district success metrics and strategic planning.
Ending: Committee members thanked staff and suggested using the survey results to target communications and family‑engagement strategies next year.
