Pilot: Parent Feedback • Survey question 1 • The new standards-based student achievement report provided me with detailed information that allowed me to have a clear idea on my child’s academic progress. • Responses: • No, definitely not (2%) • I’m not sure at this time (6%) • Yes, definitely (92%)
Pilot: Parent Feedback • Open-ended feedback samples: • “Areas of student progress are clearly defined and explained. As a parent, I know what the student needs to work on and what they are learning within the school year.” • “It helped me understand exactly where my child needs help and where he is strongest in his academics.” • “I love it, finally something that tells me where my daughter is struggling.” • “Keep it basic and simple, (the old) report card is a lot better and easier to read and understand than (the new report card).”
