2020-10-06 TJ PTSA “Revised Merit Lottery” Survey Results

The TJ PTSA surveyed its 2020-21 parent, student, and faculty members regarding the TJ Admissions Revised Merit Lottery plan. The survey was open from 10/4/2020 20:00 to 10/6/2020 12:00. The reason for the short survey period is that the plan was released on Oct 2 and the School Board meeting on the topic is scheduled for Oct 6.

The three pages of the survey are here:

Introduction

Question 1

Question 2

The results are found here.

There were 577 registered TJ PTSA members in our database that had an email address associated with them. 135 students, 441 parents, and 1 other. Of the 577 members, 317 completed the ballot, 43 failed to complete, and 217 did not start. That is a 54.94% completion rate.

For question 1, on a scale of 1 (dislike) to 5 (like), the the average rating was 1.49. The plan was rated by 354 voters.

Question 2 was a free form text input for feedback. Each paragraph represents one respondent’s answer.
