Georgia Parent Survey:  Parents, please complete this important and quick survey: Georgia Parent Survey.   It has direct input to Walton's College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI) score which is a rating computed by the Georgia Department of Education. This anonymous, statewide survey takes less than 5 minutes to complete and while specific data results will not be made public, the 24 questions are designed to correlate with the Georgia Student Health Survey and the Georgia School Personnel Survey to measure school climate issues that may have a negative impact on student achievement. The survey can be accessed via personal computers, smartphones, or I-pads.
