Survey

We are inviting parents and community members to provide their input on the quality of education in the Lowndes County School System. The data gathered from the surveys will be used to make informed school improvement decisions, including allocation of funds for professional learning.  This information will also be used to develop plans to ensure all students receive a high quality education from effective teachers.

The survey will be available until February 3, 2012.  To complete the online survey, click here and choose the survey most appropriate for you. Surveys are available for community members, parents, teachers, paraprofessionals, and administrators. Thank you for your participation.

When registering after the first day of school, please register your child on a day prior to attending.
