Parent Survey - Assessment of Standards for Accreditation
Assessment of Standards for Accreditation
INSTRUCTIONS
- In this survey, you are asked to rate your child’s school on how well it meets the Standards for Accreditation of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools.
- The school must meet the 12 Standards for Accreditation to be granted “Accreditation” by the Middle States Association.
- The Middle States Standards for Accreditation are rigorous criteria for the level of quality required in the educational programs, operations, and services expected of all accredited institutions.
- Each Standard is amplified by a set of Indicators of Quality that show possible evidence or ways that a school can demonstrate it meets the Standard for Accreditation.
- The Indicators of Quality for the Standard identify the types of evidence that, when taken together, indicate whether the school meets the Standard.
- Meeting the Standard means that the Standard describes the school to an acceptable degree.
- Please rate each Indicator based on your personal knowledge of and experience with your child’s school.
- In this self-assessment survey, rate each Indictor of Quality for each Standard for Accreditation using the following scale:
Rating of Adherence to the Indicator
- The school DOES NOT MEET the expectations of this Indicator
- The school PARTIALLY MEETS the expectations of this Indicator and NEEDS IMPROVEMENT
- The school MEETS the expectations of this Indicator
- The school EXCEEDS the expectations of this Indicator
- If you do not have sufficient knowledge or experience to rate an Indicator, leave it blank.
- If you rate a Standard either 2 (Partially meets) or 1 (Does not meet), please provide the reason for your rating in the “Comments” section for that Standard.
