Survey Results Preface

Jefferson County Public Schools
Comprehensive Staff, Student & Parent Survey
District Reporting

Jefferson County Public Schools conducted the first Comprehensive School Survey during the 1996-97 school year. While the original plan was to conduct the survey every two years, upon receipt of the results the Jefferson County Board of Education recommended that the survey be done annually. As a result of the Board's action the survey has been administered annually since the first year. The survey is provided to all classified and certified staff, all parents, all middle and high school students, and all elementary school students in grades 4 & 5. The number of surveys returned each year, inclusive of ALL respondents, has ranged from a minimum of 62,555 to a maximum of 72,976.

The survey is administered in the fall of each year. Results of the surveys are tabulated and a report produced for each discrete group of respondents by location, level and district-wide and made available to each respective location Administrator 8-12 weeks later.

The underlying purpose of the surveys is to provide feedback to the Board of Education, Central Office, and local schools.  An appropriate response rate from schools and parents are important to us.  Hearing from everyone in JCPS helps assure that the survey results are as accurate as possible.  It is only with people like you that we can achieve a successful response rate to make data-driven decisions.  In social science research, a 70% response rate is recommended.  The following documents summarize the response rates by schools.
