Got Something To Say To CCSD? Say It To Their Face

If you have a kid in the Clark County School District, chances are you have a lot of opinions. From the way the district spends (and doesn't spend) money to the lacking test scores and safety on campus. Well, if you are the parent of a student in CCSD, the district is asking for your feedback, as CCSD has opened a new, annual survey to parents and guardians.

From now until December 15th, parents and guardians of CCSD students will be able to tee off on how they feel about the school district and where it is putting its time and energy. The survey is not anonymous (you'll need to confirm some information about your child to confirm you're eligible to take the survey). However they do say it is confidential.

There are a lot of topics covered in the survey, which is expected to take around 10 minutes to complete. Among the questions you can weigh-in on are:

- My child's school informs me how fundraising monies are used.
- I feel welcome at my child's school.
- The staff at my child's school really values my input and opinions.
- The Clark County School District is transparent and open about how it operates.
- My child feels safe at school.

Now, obviously, you may have some strong opinions on some of these questions depending on your child's situation. That's why CCSD holds this annual survey to get a better gauge on what parents are feeling. Unfortunately, it is just a survey and not an invitation to write your opinions. But if you feel strongly one way or another, your voice matters.

If you are interested in taking part in the Clark County School District survey, you can visit the CCSD website. The survey is only for those with skin in the game (a kid going to school in the district).

One of the most important takeaways from education is that it helps individuals develop critical thinking skills. Personal growth comes from learning which intake helps with gaining more confidence, financial wealth and literary skills.

Nevada is an ever-growing city with a population of just over three million. More people are moving to Las Vegas to give their families a better life. With the American dream in mind, where does education fit into the equation? Education is important to families who want to offer the best for their children and generations to come.

EdWeek.org conducted a comprehensive analysis to find out where states rank in educational opportunities and performance. Their data was configured over three categories which included Chance for Success (January), School Finance (June) and K-12 Achievement (September). The overall grade is the average of the three separate scores.

Nevada finished 50 amongst all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The state scoring earned 68.6 out of 100 possible points. That is the equivalent of a D plus grade average. The country ranked at a C grade average. Find out more about their education research within each category.

Let's be honest, Nevada does not have a great education system ranking but that does not mean that all Vegas schools are bad. Vegas has the 5 largest school district in the United States with the Los Angeles Unified School District taking first place.

GreatSchools.org is a leading non-profit when it comes to research insights and parenting resources. The non-profit gives an insight on "school quality" based on a rating from one to 10. Top-rated schools are considered 10's. Ratings between one to four are looked at as below average. Ratings between five to six indicate average. Ratings seven to 10 are considered above average.

Let's see how Vegas high schools, public and private, are ranked from 10 to one.
