COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

Pillar 5 Community Engagement: To what degree are AH learners supported by an engaged community?

Indicator 5 .1: Family Engagement Survey

Comparison to National Benchmarks

The Family Engagement Survey was given to all parents in grades PK-12 in February 2020. The survey asks the degree to which families become involved with and interact with their child’s school. When parents are involved, students get better grades, score higher on standardized tests, have better attendance records, drop out less often, have higher aspirations, and more positive attitudes toward school and homework. 1,502 parents responded to the survey.

Family Engagement Survey AHISD Scored at the 80th Percentile in National Benchmarks

Findings: One of the strengths of AHISD is a highly engaged community. Engagement with the school is strongest in elementary. In Fall 2020, 97% of parents attended elementary parent conferences. In Fall 2021, 97% of parents attended virtual elementary conferences

Signal: On track. Continue to monitor.

Community Feedback:

The tight knit community that surrounds and supports the school system in being the best it can be . Parents and students are very willing to give of their time and money to make AHISD a success and a system that is competitive and that makes students thrive and succeed in academics, sports and extra curriculum experiences . – Woodridge/Howard Parent
