Introduction
The Stakeholder Feedback Diagnostic is designed to analyze the
institution's survey results in terms of areas of achievement and
areas that need improvement. Further, the diagnostic is essential
to the accreditation and continuous improvement processes in that
it provides the institution with a comprehensive view of the
aggregate scores of the surveys administered, and the actual total
of respondents for each survey type to derive a single score for
this diagnostic. The performance level score computed at the
completion of the diagnostic is used to broaden and enhance the
external review team's understanding of the stakeholder's
perceptions of the institution; the diagnostic should be used in
the same manner by the institution as it engages in improvement
planning.

- Carter-Parramore Academy believes that it does an effective job
communicating with it stakeholders, especially parents and their
students, about the school's goals and activities. We use flyers
and letters, the school's marquee, the Parent Link (automated
calling system), and school-wide announcements. Stakeholders are
also encouraged to serve on the school advisory council (as school
advocates) and as volunteers around the campus. While

Which area(s) indicate the overall highest level of
satisfaction or approval?
Survey results reflect that Standard 1: Purpose and Direction
rated highest among all stakeholders' responses.
Carter-Parramore Academy believes that its school's leadership
and staff is committed to a culture that is based on shared values
and beliefs about teaching and learning experiences for all
students that include achievement of learning, thinking, and life
skills. All members of the faculty and staff have been assigned to
SACS committees for the unique purpose of collaboration and
committing ideas to the growth and improvement of the academy's
complex. While the current administration has only been aboard five
months, we have worked jointly to provide clear direction to
empower persons to improve conditions that support student learning
according to their level of expertise. We have an open door policy
when it comes to both student and or parent concerns. We candidly
convey a message of high expectations and "we're here for business"
--- we can give you a fish, but we rather teach you to fish.
Which area(s) show a trend toward increasing stakeholder
satisfaction or approval?
Standard 2 - Governance and Leadership and Standard 3- Teaching
and Assessing for Learning are the two that most stakeholders
viewed as showing a trend toward increasing stakeholders
satisfaction or approval. Stakeholders recognize the fact that the
Gadsden School system, as the governing body, establishes policies
and supports practices that ensure effective administration of the
school. The governing body also ensures that the school leadership
has the autonomy to meet goals for achievement and instruction and
to manage day-to-day operations effectively. As an alternative
educational site, we use a board approved restructuring plan in
conjunction with the school improvement plan for assuring
stakeholders that our complex is committed to helping students
develop to their fullest potential within the frameworks of their
respective abilities. Our mentoring and induction programs support
instructional improvement consistent with the school's values and
beliefs about teaching and learning. CPA engages families in
meaningful ways in their children's education and keeps them
informed of their children's learning progress through frequent
reporting. The school utilizes the homeroom/instructional focus
period time whereby each student is well known by at least one
adult advocate --- the homeroom teacher--- in the school who
supports that student's educational experience.
Which of the above reported findings are consistent with
findings from other stakeholder feedback sources?
Standard1: Purpose and Direction is most consistent with
findings from other stakeholder feedback sources. The school's
leadership works hard to implement a continuous improvement process
that provides clear direction for improving conditions that
supports all student learning. The Gadsden school system has
implemented the Florida Continuous Improvement Model throughout the
district for total quality management of all its learning and
teaching initiatives.
Areas in Need of
Improvement
Which area(s) indicate the overall lowest level of
satisfaction or approval?
The lowest areas of satisfaction include the following: Staff -
Standard 3: Teaching and Assessing for Learning Parents - Standard
5: Using Results for Continuous Improvement Students (Elementary) -
Standard 2: Governance and Leadership Students (Middle and High) -
Standard 4: Resources and Support Systems
Which area(s) show a trend toward decreasing stakeholder
satisfaction or approval?
The following show a trend toward decreasing stakeholder
satisfaction or approval: Staff - Standard 4: Resources and Support
Systems Parents -Standard 5: Using Results for Continuous
Improvement Students (Elementary) -Standard 4: Resources and
Support Systems Students (Middle and High) - Standard 5: Using
Results for Continuous Improvement
What are the implications for these stakeholder
perceptions?
Parents basically strongly agree or agree with the
implementation of standards at this site; however, 25% were neutral
as to the reporting of achievement of school goals. Staff members
believe that we maintain a facility that support student learning
and focus so heavily on academics that few opportunities are
provided for students to participate in activities that otherwise
interest them. Middle and high school students believe that the
school fails to consider their opinions when planning ways to
improve the school. Less than 50% feel that the school shares
information with their family and community members. Elementary
students (37%) agreed or were not sure as to whether the school was
a safe and clean environment.
Which of the above reported findings are consistent with
findings from other stakeholder feedback sources?
Consistently, we have found that the impetus to focus on
academics overwhelm our efforts to provide a blended elective area
curriculum that provides activities that interest students. Also
the availability of resources hinders efforts to adequately provide
such services. However, the 21st Century Community Learning Center
program supports this initiative.
