Every year, the Lake Washington School District asks parents and community members to take a few minutes and give feedback about how local schools are doing.

The survey provides good feedback to the district on important parent concerns as well as what parents think we are doing well. The district uses this information in its continuous improvement processes. Many of the questions are used for reports to the school board. Results are also broken out by school and provided to principals for use in their continuous improvement process. Parents and community members alike are invited to take part.

Survey questions are based on the Nine Characteristics of High-Performing Schools. This framework for school improvement was developed by the Office for the Superintendent of Public Schools based on a review of the research on what makes a high-performing school. Survey answers will help the district understand how it needs to improve its schools and its district to be as high performing as possible.

This year, the survey will be open through May 13.
