Parent Perception Survey
Your
opinions are important to us!
The Fulton County School System invites you to spend a few minutes
giving your input during its annual Parent Perception Survey. The
survey runs from March 1 through April 2, and the answers you provide
will be used for school improvement planning.
A perception survey measures how you feel about different aspects of
your child's overall education in Fulton County, rather than
gathering information about individual teachers or your school's
performance. Please be assured that your identity and that of
your child cannot and will not be shared with any school official.
The survey will be available online here.
If you prefer to fill out a paper survey, copies will be available in
the front office. Surveys in Spanish, Portuguese, Korean, and
Chinese are also available at the school. Your answers will be
combined with those of other parents and shared with teachers and the
principal for school improvement planning. Your identity and
that of your child will remain confidential.
If you have questions about the survey, please call the Assessment
and Accountability Division at 404-763-4598. Thank you for your
feedback.
