Georgia Parent Survey
Now open to all parents of Georgia Public School Students, the survey mirrors the school climate questions in the Georgia Student Health Survey II and the Georgia School Personnel Survey. Data from these surveys will be used to calculate the School Climate Star Rating within the College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI) for each school. Data from this survey will also be used to help the school inform and monitor instructional and programming decisions. Please visit this link by January 31, 2014. Thank you!
Go here, a drop-down menu will appear for you to select school district (Dekalb) and school (Dekalb School of the Arts).
