Conclusions
Better % return than expected from mailings
Teachers are highly respected and appreciated at PHS
Overall, students and parents are happy and appreciative of their educational experiences
Several concerns have been resolved with the new building and the on going improvement of the curriculum
No real interest in CLEP—possibly because they don’t have information about the option

Post Card
If used: Need better way to obtain updated
addresses Reassess the questions Confusion on “Year of graduation” Phrasing for “attending 2 year college” Confusion with “Employment, part time” for
college student

Most Importantly
Need greater input as to who will be using this data and how. This will then effect the questions to be asked.
