Fall Parent Survey Results

If you recall, we administered a Parent Survey earlier this semester. We are excited to share a summary of the results with you! The feedback and data were very positive, and we are grateful and humbled. Please know: Saint Agnes is far from perfect and we will always work to improve every aspect of our school from academics to student life to campus security; we are dedicated to our school improvement efforts and have taken the critical feedback seriously.

A few highlights:

• Participation: Strong participation numbers with 165 parents providing feedback in the survey; 87 parents of Upper School only; 40 parents of both Upper and Lower students; 38 parents of only Lower School students.
• Faculty: It’s wonderful to have a great academic program, but it’s far better to have an amazing faculty to teach it – and especially if those teachers are also great witnesses to the Faith. By far, our teachers got the most positive comments in the free response areas.  Thank you, teachers, for your dedication to students and our school!
• Overall Satisfaction: The rating scales of satisfaction were remarkably high, scoring in the 90^th percentile in all but one area and the lowest was 86^th percentile; this is a testament to a community that is authentically integrated: faculty and student culture, faith life, and strong academics and athletics/activities. 
• Speakers/Assemblies/Retreats: Parents have expressed a lot of appreciation for the great speakers we’ve brought in for students to hear (e.g. Paul Kim, Jason Evert, Anika Prather, etc.), the fun Lower School Assemblies, and Upper School Retreats.
• New Families/Transition: It was really edifying to read so many testimonials of new families to the school on how great an experience they’ve had so far, how welcomed they’ve been, and how smooth the transition has been. Thank you to students and faculty/staff alike for integrating new families so well.



A PDF summary is attached for your review of the participation, the data from the satisfaction scales, and a list of the most repeated comments (both positive and negative.

Once again, thank you, dear families, for all for your support of Saint Agnes School! May God continue to bless, protect, and unify this community.
