— annual & semester survey review
Annual and semester student and teacher feedback, read together. What's changed, what's lasted, and how each student and teacher are growing over time.
The average teacher rating climbed from 4.19 in Fall 2024 to 4.70 in Spring 2026. Student overall satisfaction moved the same way.
Each color marks a survey wave. Fall 2024 had no teacher survey, so teacher trends start in Fall 2025.
Response volumes, satisfaction, and rating averages across the three waves.
Both student overall experience and the average rating across all teachers moved upward each semester.
In F25, ratings spanned 2.67–5.00 — including one teacher at 2.67 and another at 3.00. By Spring '26, every teacher was rated 4.38 or higher and seven of eleven sat at 4.60+. The faculty is tightening at the top.
Average rating per teacher per semester. Dashes mean the teacher wasn't named that cycle (turnover or role change).
The shape of CFEG changed materially across these three semesters — new subjects, new staff, more structure.
Across all three surveys, three motifs surface with striking consistency.
"My most favorite lesson was writing my own original poem. … The Real Thanksgiving. … Communications."
"The Zine Art Project. … The cancer month project. … The urinary system project. … The cardboard box project is fun."
"The plant project (Caribbean History). … The water pollution project. … We tried to make a movie in photography class."
"math" · "Mostly graphs in math" · "probably math" · "math is frustrating to me" · "Hyperbolas"
Mentioned cautiously in F25, more pointedly in Sp26 — by students and teachers.
"If the teachers have Edmentum work, maybe they could teach one lesson on the live session days or something like that."
"Edmentum isn't the best learning form, and I think going over the information in class would be better."
"More intervention time for students behind in Edmentum would be helpful."
The shape of the ask has stayed remarkably consistent across cohorts.
Across F25 and Sp26 — different teacher cohorts, very different sample sizes — the top training request is identical.
Faculty-wide ratings up 0.51 pts. Overall experience up 0.18 pts in the latest year. The bottom of the rating distribution has compressed — no teacher rated below 4.38 in Sp26 versus 2.67 in F25. The same handful of teachers appear at the top in every survey. The same handful of asks appear too — and those are the leverage points for the next cycle.
A fourth student wave, fielded Aug 25 – Sep 10, 2026, covering onboarding, orientation, the new learning portal with Millie, and how remote learning feels at home. Fifteen responses. Full detail sits under Students → Fall 2026 · First Week.
Every student has reliable internet and a suitable computer. Seven need no extra support; the leading stated need is managing time and workload (5). The load-bearing asks: fewer links to click, simpler access across platforms, and clearer online assignments.
Verbatim student and teacher answers pulled across all four waves, so the strongest areas and the open problems sit side by side. Each wave has its own version of this under Students and Teachers.
One line per wave, in the order they were fielded, so you can see progress semester over semester. Any survey you add on the Intake tab and apply appears here automatically.
"Our school is wonderful just as it is. There's no need for major changes."
The earliest survey on record. No "overall experience" question yet; rating is the mean across all teachers.
Mr. Williams led on a tiny sample (n=2). Mr. Abron and Mr. Thompson the strongest at scale.
Abron and Thompson at the top, with Dias and Westerman close behind.
"The Real Thanksgiving. … Sine, cosine, tangent. … A book called The Bully. … Lens in Physics. … Social studies about child labor."
"My most favorite lesson was writing my own original poem."
Even the asks were complimentary in F24. The strongest signal: a request for repetition and a group chat.
"Simply to incorporate more repetition within the classes (especially Language, Mathematics, and Science) so students better retain the material."
"A little bit more entertaining. … GROUP CHAT."
Every line below is a verbatim answer from the Fall 2024 wave, sorted so you can see the wins, the friction, and the direct requests at a glance.
Each theme below is counted from the written answers in the Fall 2024 wave, and the words in the list are exactly as students typed them.
"This school is like the best online school I ever went to."
Nine of 23 respondents in 11th — almost 40% of the sample.
Mitchell and S. Cannon perfect at 5.00. Ms. Denis at the bottom — the only notably low score in the survey.
13 of 23 students named Fine Arts as a favorite — more than any other class in any survey on record.
"The Zine Art Project. … The urinary system project (physiology and anatomy) and the introduction paragraph (English)."
"For math, the cardboard box project is fun. And for art, everything is fun."
"My favorite project was the one about your favorite career for Ms. Murphy."
The single most-named area for improvement. Phrased variously, but with one clear referent.
"math" · "Algebra" · "probably math" · "Mostly graphs in math" · "math is frustrating to me"
"The teachers tell us which assignments to do, so it's confusing when they expect us to be done with things that haven't been assigned and then say you are behind."
"Have an own-paced thing for work, not time limits — the work can be exhausting, overwhelming, and overstimulating even stressful at times."
The most striking single response in the F25 survey.
Fall 2025 verbatims, grouped into praise, friction, and requests so the action items are unmistakable.
Fall 2025 written answers grouped into themes, with the verbatim wording for each theme below the chart.
"Everyone was pretty nice and wanted me to complete my work."
14 students responded — the highest weekly engagement of any wave. 12th graders led at 5 of 14, with 10th graders close behind at 4.
The tightest distribution in any survey on record — and the highest faculty mean (4.70).
The same three names dominate both "liked most" and "learned most." Each rated 4.56 or higher.
"Ms. Nancy's class — very good at communicating and love her class discussion. She really explains everything clearly and answers any time you need help."
"The plant project (Caribbean History) — grow something for life's sake."
"I really enjoyed the time we tried to make a movie in photography class. We never finished it, but it was fun making a script and working with others for filming."
"The water pollution project. … My final essay for English for Ms. McKeand."
Without exception — yes. Even the shortest answers were affirmative.
Spring 2026 verbatims. This was the highest-rated wave overall (4.79), and the praise is specific and teacher-named.
Spring 2026 written answers counted by theme, with the exact student wording listed underneath.
"Everything gone well — I met my new teachers, I met my classmates, we learned how to get to the class work, and we also talked to Millie."
Fielded Aug 25 – Sep 10, 2026. Fifteen students rated their first week, the new learning portal and Millie, class pages and teams, faculty communication, and how remote learning is actually going at home.
Support and communication from faculty and staff leads at 4.53, with the overall first week at 4.47 and class pages and teams at 4.40 — both with 86.7% rating 4 or 5. Remote learning sits at 4.20 (73.3% at 4 or 5). The learning portal and Millie is the softest at 4.13 (80.0% at 4 or 5) — positive, with the most room to improve.
Twelve of 15 found onboarding mostly or very clear, and 13 of 15 feel prepared to start coursework. One student answered at the bottom of every readiness question and asked for fewer links to click.
Eleven of 15 agree they like working at their own pace — the strongest positive in the whole set. More online learning options follows at eight.
"I can do it on my own time without much pressure in regard to having to cut work-related things out of my schedule to join classes."
Four students each say assignments are sometimes hard to follow online and that homework is too heavy. Distraction and motivation are present but not dominant.
"Sometimes the links don't work, which makes it confusing to keep up unless you watch the recording of the day before."
"Not have so many links to click on." · "Mr. Bamlak's mic is very glitchy and is sometimes hard to understand him."
Twelve of 15 agree or strongly agree they belong to the school community. Two reported a somewhat negative first week and one strongly disagreed on belonging — the same student flagged across the readiness questions.
Five students asked for help managing time and workload — the leading stated need. Seven said they need no additional support. On a follow-up, 10 said no and 5 were unsure, and nobody said yes outright — the unsure group is still worth a low-pressure check-in — worth a light-touch check-in rather than waiting for a "yes".
"Everyone in the school is nice and communicative to everyone."
Fall 2026 first-week verbatims. Faculty support (4.53) and class pages (4.40) are the clear strengths; links and platform navigation are the clear fix.
Every first-week comment sorted into themes. The chart counts them; the list holds the exact words.
"Students showed measurable academic growth, particularly in Math problem-solving and Science conceptual understanding."
Grades 7–12 represented. Subjects span Math, Science, English, Art, History, Communications, and Drafting.
Live Teams sessions the primary format (4 of 10), Edmentum the heaviest co-platform (3 of 10).
"Students made a connection with their family and culture by working on projects that required them to interview family members and learn about different aspects of their heritage."
"Students developed an interest and basic knowledge in drafting and design. They were able to connect drawing with creativity, use tools such as a ruler, and apply basic design principles."
"Witnessing the students' growth as they presented their final elocution projects. Observing the progression and successful completion was one of the most rewarding aspects."
"Achieved at least 80% attendance in most classes. Managed two unique science real-life and practical projects. Excellent grades for most students."
"We have so many options that it can be hard to keep track of them. Did someone message me through Teams, Edmentum, or Jupiter?"
Jupiter, PowerPoint, Teams, Updates, and Edmentum all averaged above 4.0. Planner, OneNote, and Excel softer.
5 of 10 prefer self-paced video/tutorial training. 2 want short workshops. 2 say no training needed.
Each teacher named different specific resources. Common thread: they want established external tools, not new internal ones.
Fall 2025 teacher verbatims, in the same three buckets.
Fall 2025 teacher written answers grouped by theme, with their exact wording below the chart.
"They give updates, allow us to share ideas, and help with challenges in teaching."
Combined, the respondents covered grades 6–12 across five subject areas, now including Tech & Industry / vocational classes.
"Students were able to design their own houses using software and also make physical house models. Over time they became more confident, creative, and skilled in their work."
"Students showed steady growth in major Accelerated Algebra topics — exponents, radicals, factoring, functions. Many became more confident solving multi-step problems."
"I managed to spark an interest and motivation in the majority of students to learn and carry out their assignments in a responsible manner."
"Students engaged in projects that required them to embrace their culture — planting peppers, mint, and beans for 'Grow Something for Life's Sake,' and interviewing family about Caribbean sayings and meanings."
Followed by Excel, Lists, Planner, OneDrive, Jupiter, Teams, and "New AI and Classroom Base Programs." Format preference: 75% short workshops, 25% videos/guides/tutorials.
Spring 2026 teacher verbatims, in the same three buckets.
Spring 2026 teacher answers counted by theme, with their exact wording listed underneath.
Across Fall 2024, Fall 2025, Spring 2026, and the Fall 2026 first-week check-in, CFEG collected feedback from 74 students and 15 teachers. The faculty-wide rating climbed +0.51 pts (4.19 → 4.70), and student overall satisfaction tracked the same trajectory (4.61 → 4.79). The Fall 2026 first week opened at 4.47/5, with faculty support strongest at 4.53 and the learning portal with Millie softest at 4.13. Math remains the single most-named pain point, while too many links and platforms is the clearest new one.

What still needs work
In their words
What they are specifically requesting
Students who may need specific attention. One Fall 2026 student answered at the bottom of every readiness question and strongly disagreed that they belong — a direct follow-up is warranted. Two more described a somewhat negative first week. Five said they were “not sure” about a follow-up and nobody said yes outright, so the uncertain group should be checked in on rather than waiting for a request. Across annual waves, students naming Math are the largest consistent group asking for help, and Spring 2026 students open to a career track chose none of the options offered.
15 teacher responses across Fall 2025 (n=10) and Spring 2026 (n=5). Tool usage grew across the board, short workshops remain the preferred training format, and the Sp26 cohort added Tech & Industry / vocational instruction to the roster.

One school-wide view of all four survey waves — Fall 2024, Fall 2025, Spring 2026 and the Fall 2026 first week — with the numbers, the charts and the students' and teachers' own words for each wave in the order they were collected.
Faculty-wide ratings rose every cycle, from 4.19 in Fall 2024 to 4.70 in Spring 2026, and student overall experience followed (4.61 → 4.79). Fall 2026 opened at 4.47/5 for the first week, with faculty support the strongest area at 4.53. Two requests repeat across every wave: more support in Math, and a simpler path through the platforms and links students use daily.
Headline student average and response volume for each wave. Fall 2026 measures the first week of school, a different question than the annual experience rating.
The first wave on record. No overall-experience question and no teacher survey yet, so the rating is the mean across every named teacher.
The first cycle with both a student and a teacher survey, and the first overall-experience score.
The tightest distribution on record: every teacher rated 4.38 or higher, and the highest faculty mean of any wave.
Fielded Aug 25 – Sep 10, 2026, covering onboarding, orientation, the learning portal with Millie, and how remote learning feels at home.
Each item below is drawn directly from the counted answers above.
Fewer links and fewer platforms is the clearest new ask, named by five students in the first week and echoed by teachers in both teacher waves.
Math is the most-named need in all three annual waves — the single most stable signal in the whole dataset.
Five Spring 2026 students were open to a career track and chose none of the options offered.
Jupiter and SharePoint training top both teacher waves; short workshops are the preferred format.
One first-week student flagged on every readiness measure, two described a somewhat negative week, and five were unsure about a check-in. None said no support was wanted outright.
