· High expectations, 94%

· Instruction, 93%

· Leadership, 95%

· School climate, 92%

· Sense of belonging, 93%

· Support, 96%

· Supporting relationships, 97%

“At Naugatuck Public schools, our purpose it to ensure all students have access to high expectations and rigorous learning experiences every day. Families are our partners and their opinion is extremely important to us,” said Superintendent Sharon Locke in a statement. “This survey reinforces that we are on the right track and that parents are confident in our schools. Yet we are always looking to get better. We will continue to seek and use feedback in our strategic planning process.”
