[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are the chances that all the positive comments are coming from parents of Ws (including "honorary" BCC), Blair/Poolesville magnets or RMIB?  The OP/topic clearly is system-wide, and we know MCPS doesn't provide equitable experiences across clusters.[/quote]
[b]The vast majority of MoCo parents IRL are happy with MCPS. [/b]
Most of the ones posting here are private schools parents, trolls and wannabes. 
DCUM is not real life. [/quote]

And that's not true but it's okkay... [/quote]
It's true. Over 80%[/quote]

No, it's not.

[QUOTE] K-12 education received a 68% positive rating in 2024.  That’s below the 81-82% range of the earlier surveys, a precipitous drop.  Superintendent Thomas Taylor’s recommended budget increase is so huge that it will probably require a property tax increase to fully fund.  If residents’ perceptions of MCPS are indeed declining, are they willing to pay?[/QUOTE][/quote]

13% response rate. < 1000 responses.

Happy people don’t take surveys.

So 42% of 13% are unhappy. That is 5% so that’s a 95% positivity rating [/quote]

That response rate is up from 2021. Did you dismiss the previous survey results as invalid based on response rate or do you only dismiss the results when they’re unfavorable to MCPS?

If you have issues with the county’s methodology, take it up with the county.[/quote]

I just miss the response rates for every survey that’s only 13%.

That’s not a good measurement of anything.

Every school has a safety report. You should read that, that’s much better and more informative than this stupid survey.[/quote]

You're ridiculous. It's a statistically valid survey run by professionals from the county. The 1,000 responses is based on a randomized sampling of 6,000 residents. If you don't know what sampling is, then that's on you.

Furthermore, the Security at a Glance reports you're referencing have not been updated since the 2021-2022 school year: https://ww2.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/sharedaccountability/safetyglance/

So what insightful, significant information is to be gleaned from a report the system has stopped issuing since 2022?[/quote]

13% is not considered statistically significant.

Anything less than 30% the results are called into question. And 13% of sampling is in no way shape or form considered a good survey.

Also, if you think that 13% is enough and you do the math that’s an 80% approval rating.

So since you love to say how terrible Montgomery County public schools are, why don’t you go on and on about? They can’t even run a survey..

Yeah, and the at a glance documents should be update yearly because they actually are significant.[/quote]
