A total of 908 people responded to Flagler Schools' annual community survey this year, saying that their top priorities are hiring and retaining quality teachers, addressing students' social and emotional well-being and providing a safe environment for students.

The top five priorities selected this year (see box at left) were the same as those selected in last year's survey.

Asked if they were satisfied with the quality of education provided by Flagler Schools, 64.5% said they were satisfied. That's an increase from 2019, when the percentage who answered "satisfied" was 54.4%. The percentage of respondents that were "extremely satisfied" stayed about the same, at 22.9% in 2020, and 22.6% in 2019. 

Asked what they considered the three most important sources of information about Flagler Schools, respondents listed district phone calls, district social media and the district website.

The percentage of respondents who have an account with Skyward — the program used to display student grades — increased from 47.1% in 2019 to 86.5% in 2020.
