District 303 Parents Give School District High Marks in Annual Survey

Parents ranked the St. Charles School District 303 with its highest marks yet in the district’s annual satisfaction survey.

Of the 2,504 responses to the survey, 88 percent said they were either “mostly” or “very” satisfied with their child’s school, according to the district’s press release. The number of responses to the survey was the second-highest total since the survey began in the 1992/93 school years and is the fourth time in the last seven years District 303 has reached a new high mark in parent satisfaction.

This year’s level of parent satisfaction topped the previous highest mark of 86 percent which was recorded in the 2014-15 year, the release said. This was the fourth time in the last seven years that District 303 has reached a new high score in parent satisfaction.

In the release, Superintendent Don Schlomann thanked the parents who took the time to complete the survey.

“While this is not a scientific survey, the high volume of responses brings us a valuable amount of data, especially when parents take the time to add additional comments,” he stated in the release. “I read every comment that is generated by this survey.”

The survey was conducted through the district’s website during the week of Dec. 7 to 16. All District 303 parents were asked to complete a survey at the proper grade level for each of their children who attend the district’s schools.
