2020 Delaware School Survey Data:
•Due to
the COVID-19
pandemic, the
data collection for the Delaware School Survey was temporarily suspended. This suspension
resulted
in a gap in Delaware School Survey data for the 2020 survey year. However, due
to an early administration
that
started in the 2019-2020 school year for the 8th
grade survey,
we
were able to collect enough surveys in the 2019-2020 school year to report out
on 8th grade data. This does allow us to
explore the data, but only for that specific grade. Data on 5th and 11th
grade students for the 2020 school year will not be available.
2021 Delaware School Survey Data:
•Change
in administration:
In response
to the COVID-19 pandemic and the remote learning policies adopted by Delaware
schools, the Delaware School Survey was converted to an online format in
lieu of the traditional paper and pencil format. Districts and
Schools could choose to participate using either the online format or paper
and
pencil format.
The
majority of the 2021 Delaware
School Survey data was
collected via an online survey platform Qualtrics. Both formats have the same
questions and do not collect personal identifying information.
•Change
in
2021 response rate:
As a
result of the COVID-19
pandemic,
school closures, and changes in the approach to the Delaware School
Survey administration,
users
of the 2021 Delaware School Survey data should note that response rates are lower
than average. As a result, some changes observed in trend
data among the 2020 and 2021 data may be partially influenced by these external
events and the change in response rate.
