According to a recent survey of public schools in Hillsborough County, no teachers are more satisfied with their school than the ones at Plant City’s Trapnell Elementary.
A whopping 98% of Trapnell survey participants stated their school is “a good place to work and learn” in Hillsborough County Public Schools’ first Teaching, Empowering, Leading and Learning survey. A collaboration with New Teacher Center, the survey includes results from more than 10,000 district employees, mostly teachers.
The survey solicited input about a number of school-related issues, including class sizes, school cleanliness and much more.
At Cork Elementary, 100% of respondents said parents are influential decision-makers at the school. And at Plant City High School, 90% of respondents said they were encouraged to try new things to improve instruction.
Overall, most Plant City schools received high marks. Ninety-eight percent of Wilson Elementary’s respondents, 92% of Lincoln Elementary respondents and 90% of Robinson Elementary respondents also concluded their school was “a good place to work and learn.” Conversely, respondents from two Plant City schools — Bailey and Burney elementaries — gave their institutions failing overall grades, 55% and 58%, respectively. Only schools with more than 50% participation were included in the results.
