Abstract | This report summarizes findings of a survey conducted by the School Board of Broward County, Florida, to determine students' and their parents' perceptions of the district's 169 elementary and secondary schools. Out of a sample of 139,436 students and 147,789 parents, a total of 125,822 students and 26,276 parents responded. The survey gathered information in the following categories--instructional programs; school work and teaching; teaching processes; parent communication and involvement; student supervision; student support; student safety to and from school; student safety at school; weapons, gangs, drugs, and alcohol at school; physical harm and threats at school; neighborhood safety; and satisfaction and school cleanliness. Some of the findings include: (1) 56 percent of the students and 69 percent of the parents reported favorable perceptions of instructional programs related to mathematics, science, social studies, and language arts; (2) about 76 percent of parents said that teachers "always" or "usually" did a good job teaching their child; (3) parents of elementary school children held more favorable views than did those of secondary students toward instructional programs, teaching, and school-parent relations; (4) 6 percent of elementary students and 18 percent of secondary students reported that students "always" or "usually" carried weapons to school; and (5) higher percentages of students than parents reported that they had knowledge of student drug/alcohol use, gang membership, and student possession of weapons. Appendices contain 12 tables, 39 figures of student responses by grade level, and 37 figures of parent responses by school level. (LMI) |
