This report synthesizes feedback from 60,457 respondents across multiple stakeholder groups who were surveyed across 146 Sonoma County schools in January 2022.
This report does not include data on questions that are not asked of all three stakeholder groups (students, family, and staff members). Nor does this report include data in response to custom Sonoma County questions or themes. For those questions, please refer to your Student Survey Report(s), Family Survey Report(s), and Staff Survey Report(s).
Snapshot of Feedback: Percent Positives
The table below shows the proportion of positive ratings on each survey theme from each participating stakeholder group in your district.*
Colors are used to show the theme's percentile rank.** See the key below.
Arrows refer to the percentage point difference between the current survey round's percent positives and the most recent previous survey round's percent positives. For example, a 75% displayed with ↑ 2, indicates that the previous survey round’s percent positive was 73%.

*Percent positives for individual questions indicate the percentage of responses that are a 4 or a 5, or in the Elementary Student survey the percentage of responses that are a 3. Percent positives for a theme indicate the percentage of responses with a mean rating across all questions in the theme greater than 3.5 out of 5, or in the Elementary Student survey greater than a 2.5 out of 3.
**Percentile rank shows how your average rating compares to the other schools of the same level. YouthTruth's student survey comparative dataset for this report contains 765 elementary schools, 489 middle schools, and 589 high schools nationally that have administered the same survey in the past 10 years.
For example, if your percentile rank is 80th, your survey result is higher than 80% of the other schools in the comparative dataset. Because this is in the top quartile it will appear dark blue.
Respondents chose one from five available answer choices for each question: 1: Strongly disagree, 2: Disagree, 3: Neither agree nor disagree, 4: Agree, 5: Strongly agree. For age appropriateness, Elementary Student questions are asked on a 1-3 scale instead: 1: Yes, very often, 2: Sometimes, 3: No, hardly ever. Middle and High School Student questions in the Relationships theme use a different scale than other questions in those surveys. These anchors refer to a number of teachers rather than to strength of agreement. They are: 1: None, 2: Very little, 3: Some, 4: A moderate amount, 5: All.
