Help Make Palm Beach County Number One

In the graph below, you can see overall response rates as of April 24, 2019, for each community. The blue bar represents responses in week one, and the orange indicates new responses in week two. Palm Beach County schools have a response rate of 48.3 percent, and Palm Beach County OSTs have a response rate of 58.2 percent.
In the graph below, you will see a bar for each Palm Beach County school site, and one that combines all the Palm Beach County OSTs together on the far right. As a reminder, the horizontal lines indicate the thresholds for site-level incentives, which kicks in at the 75 percent and 85 percent response rate marks.
This study is funded by the Wallace Foundation and being carried out by the RAND Corporation, a nonprofit research organization.
