Survey results are really important for schools. They help schools understand what students and the community need. Here’s how they help with decision-making:

Collecting Data

• Schools often ask students questions about things like how happy they are, how they like to learn, and their mental health.
• For example, a survey might show that 65% of students feel stressed about tests. This means the school might need to do more for mental health support.

Looking at the Data

• To make sense of the survey answers, schools use simple math ideas, such as average (mean), middle value (median), and most common answer (mode).
• For instance, if the average score for student happiness is 4.2 out of 5, it shows that most students are happy, but there’s still room to make things better.

Making Policies

• When schools spot trends, they can see which rules need to be changed. If a survey shows that 70% of parents are not happy with the homework policy, the school might think about changing how they handle homework.

Planning Activities

• Survey results also help schools plan new activities. If 80% of students say they want more STEM clubs, the school might decide to put more money and effort into those programs.

Ongoing Improvement

• Schools can keep track of how things change over time. By looking at survey results every year, they can see if their changes worked and keep making things better.
