Student Survey Data Summary 2019-2020 Orange Unified School District Prepared by February 2020 Orange County Department of Education Evaluation, Assessment & Data Center OUSD LCAP 2019-20 Student Survey Summary – February 2020 Orange Unified School District (OUSD) Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) Student Survey Summary The following is a summary of the data collected from the survey of OUSD parents. This data summary is arranged to provide survey results by item. Instrument: Survey items were developed to capture respondents’ perceptions of how well the district is achieving its LCAP goals for 2019-2020. This survey is structured so that respondents would retrospectively report on the degree to which they felt each item was met, accomplished, or achieved. Methods: The survey was administered as an online only survey with an approximate 3-month administration window; September 30, 2019 to December 20, 2019. Following standard Evaluation, Assessment & Data Center (EADC) survey protocol, a website was created showing how many responses were received in near-real time. The web address to this site was emailed to the district the day after the survey window opened to ensure a high response rate. At the end of the survey window, 5,648 survey responses were received (N=5,648). Analysis: The data analysis strategy for quantitative data consists of basic descriptive statistics (frequencies and percentages); percentages were rounded to the nearest whole number. Unanswered items (i.e., blanks) and items answered with “N/A” were excluded from the analysis. Percentages from the 2018-2019 survey (where applicable) are provided for comparison purposes. All comments received are included in the Appendix by school site, comments that are confidential in nature are listed separately. Comments are transcribed as they were received. 1 OUSD LCAP 2019-20 Student Survey Summary – February 2020 From 2018/19 to 2019/20, there was little change in students’ positive ratings of all four Focus Areas, however, overall perceptions remain high. 2 OUSD LCAP 2019-20 Student Survey Summary – February 2020 Respondents by school. 18/19 19/20 18/19 19/20 Anaheim Hills Elementary 74 104 Cerro Villa Middle School 830 753 California Elementary 145 92 El Rancho Charter Middle School 4 2 Cambridge Elementary 64 108 McPherson Magnet (6th-8th) 204 280 Canyon Rim Elementary 166 138 Portola Middle School 261 627 Chapman Hills Elementary 105 50 Santiago Charter Middle School 10 27 Crescent Elementary 233 67 Yorba Middle School 524 294 Esplanade Elementary 91 81 Canyon High School 546 309 Fairhaven Elementary 134 131 El Modena High School 426 190 Fletcher Elementary 58 89 Orange High School 170 282 Handy Elementary 78 92 Richland High School 77 0 Imperial Elementary 134 107 Villa Park High School 195 173 Jordan Elementary 123 86 Adult Transition N/A 6 La Veta Elementary 234 157 Canyon Hills 0 10 Lampson Elementary 102 106 Child Development Center 0 3 Linda Vista Elementary 58 84 Community Day 1 2 McPherson Magnet (K-5th) 77 99 Home School K-8 8 5 Nohl Canyon Elementary 123 132 Independent Study 9-12 N/A 3 Olive Elementary 96 93 Orange Unified Pre-K SDC 0 15 Palmyra Elementary 94 74 Other: (write in) 35 34 Panorama Elementary 103 75 No school selected 13 Prospect Elementary 119 90 Running Springs Elementary 65 109 Serrano Elementary 93 109 Sycamore Elementary 53 70 Taft Elementary 139 151 Villa Park Elementary 58 94 West Orange Elementary 120 45 Other: (write in) responses for 19/20: • Dysinger Elementary School • ICMA/St.Paul • Saint Norbert K-12 • Far Horizons Montessori • Indepence Christian School • Servite • Freedom Elementary • John Marshall Elementary • St Paul’s and Orange Lutheran • Garden Grove Elementary • ladera vista, troy high school High School • Hoover elementary school • materday • Summit Academy 8-9 • i dont know • na • i don't know • no • i don't know • none • I don't know yet • Oak Ridge Private School • ICMA/St.Paul • Pre-K 3 OUSD LCAP 2019-20 Student Survey Summary – February 2020 What grade are you in? 18/19 19/20 5th 1,613 1,180 6th 1,365 1,532 7th 737 681 8th 762 823 9th 410 249 10th 310 176 11th 337 287 12th 339 178 Adult Transition 0 0 No grade selected 372 542 Focus Area 1.0 of the OUSD Strategic Plan: Excellence in Academics and Leadership Please rate how much you agree or disagree with each statement. 2018/19 2019/20 n SA A NO D SD n SA A NO D SD I am confident that I will receive the support I need to be successful if I 6,003 37% 44% 13% 5% 1% 5,528 30% 53% 12% 3% 1% am struggling academically or at risk of falling behind.
