Are students in this school engaged in their learning?

Student engagement is the degree of attention, curiosity, interest, and passion that students show when learning or being taught.

Research indicates that engaged students exhibit greater persistence and higher achievement than disengaged students. The annual engagement survey has 20 questions exploring students' perceptions about school and learning, and shows their engagement across behavioral, emotional, and cognitive domains.

How engaged are parents at this school?

Parent engagement and satisfaction surveys, developed by Idaho stakeholders, measure how much parents believe their student's school provides a caring, safe, and supportive environment that partners with them in their child's learning. Parents rate their agreement with such questions as, 'My child's school provides me with resources and information to support my child's learning at home.' Idaho reports the percentage of survey questions with which parents agreed or strongly agreed.
