SurveyWorks Reports

These reports are the results of the 2011-2012 Administrators' Survey. The results have been combined for schools in this LEA (LEA stands for Local Education Authority, i.e. school district or state-operated or charter school). In each report, those results are compared to the results statewide. The survey asks administrators to express their opinions and perceptions about their school's practices, issues and climate. The resulting data is designed to aid school planning and improvement.
