OUR RATING DEPENDS ON YOU!

Beginning with the 2014-2015 school year, schools with less than a 75% participation rate on the student and personnel surveys will be designated as Low Participation (LP) and schools not participating in the student and personnel surveys will be designated as No Participation (NP) in the survey section of the School Climate Star Rating and both will receive 0.00 in the calculations thereby reducing a school’s School Climate Star Rating.

Also, schools that have no participation on the Parent Survey will receive the same calculation.

In addition, schools that have no or low participation in the surveys will not be permitted to receive the five (5) additional points for research/evidence-based programs/interventions they’re implementing for Personalized Climate. This also applies to the 0.5 point awarded to the College and Career Performance Index, CCRPI, “Exceeding the Bar” indicator. 

Because of the importance of the surveys, we have extended the deadline to administer the Georgia Student Health Survey 2.0, the Georgia School Personnel Survey and the Georgia Parent Survey until Thursday, April 30, 2015.

Surveys must be completed at a minimum participation rate of 75% to receive a score on the School Climate component of the School Climate Star Rating.

Remember that data from these sources along with other sources will be used in calculation of the School Climate Star Rating within the CCRPI, therefore it is critical that all schools participate.

Students and parents may choose the Spanish version if needed by selecting “Español” at the top of the survey.
