Insights from Sumner School District Graduate Surveys: Understanding Student Outcomes

The Sumner School District, serving over 8,000 students across two high schools, three middle schools, and eight elementary schools, conducts comprehensive graduate surveys for classes from 1989 to the present. These surveys, including Senior Exit Surveys developed in collaboration with WSU, assess students’ high school experiences, guidance services, academic preparation, and post-graduation plans. Data visualization aids in reviewing results to enhance advisory systems and support student success. This initiative emphasizes continuous improvement in educational services and student outcomes.
