We appreciate everyone who returned a 2011-2012 Needs Assessment Survey to your child’s teacher. It is good feedback that we received and it helps us to identify strengths and weaknesses of our school and areas that we need to focus on. Several people have inquired about the results so we decided to post them on our school website for anyone interested.
The results of the Needs Assessment Survey for Enterprise School indicated that the majority of the parents felt the school’s overall program was either GOOD or EXCELLENT. Enterprise received only 5 poor scores out of 368 surveys pertaining to the overall Academic Program. Our teachers received a positive ranking as well as the school’s administration. Ninety percent of the surveys ranked the total Education Quality of the Lincoln County School District either EXCELLENT or GOOD. Parents indicated that they were given opportunities to be involved and play an Active Role in their children’s education.
Weaknesses at the school most frequently cited were: limited parking; parent pick up; consistency in discipline and too much emphasis on state testing. Strengths cited by parents included: great teachers and administrative leadership; good student-teacher-parent relationships; friendly family atmosphere and a good academic curriculum. Parents indicated that they felt welcomed at the school and that our school offered a safe environment for their children. The workshops that they were most interested in included helping their child with homework and improving study skills.

Again, our thanks to everyone who returned a survey, but if you did not turn one in do not feel that you cannot voice your feels about Enterprise, both what we are doing well and what we need to work on.

Our school is a reflection of our community and by working together we can continue to strive for excellence.
