March 10, 2023. Dear Parents and Guardians, each year, the South Carolina Department of Education provides survey for parents/guardians to complete. This survey consists of questions that provide opportunities for school improvement. However, that is not the survey's only purpose. In 2018, The SC Dept. of education changed calculations for each school's report card. the answers you provide on the survey impact BHS's report card in two areas. The most obvious area is inclusion of data that shows the number of surveys returned and the satisfaction percentage in three areas. In addition, the school's report card includes a numerical calculation similar to what a student receives in a class. Based on that number, a school receives an Excellent, Good, Average, Below Average, or Unsatisfactory rating. Your response to the survey, in addition to the responses of your student on a similar survey, will account for up to 10 points on the BHS report card. On the last reported survey, 80% of parents/ guardians reported satisfaction with the learning environment. As part of our growth plan, BHS aims to increase the percent of parents satisfied with the learning environment from 80% to 95% by the end of the 2024-2025 school year. Your participation in this survey can help us reach out growth goals and provide feedback for continued school improvement. Without you and your dedication to your student, our school, and our community, we could never be successful. Never underestimate the admiration that the faculty and staff of BHS has for you. Your participation in the survey is humbly appreciated. Sincerely, Michael Mullinax BHS principal.
