INTRODUCTION

• Two surveys were made available. One to students and one to parents. Using Google Drive, responses were tallied from 128 Parent participants and 879 Student participants.

• Because survey participants were able to check more than one box, the percentages are broken down by decimals to accurately represent the results using a pie chart for a more simple representation of data results.

• Most participants agreed or strongly agreed in the majority of all categories and questions, indicating that the participants believe that this is a strong school with a strong faculty.
