La Habra City, Calif.

La Habra City Schools

The district
5,000 students. 40 percent English-language learners. 80 percent below the poverty line.

The challenge
A small school district with limited resources, La Habra City school officials needed to meet a statewide mandate requiring districts to engage parents in school decision-making. Surveys were critical. But the district’s process proved tedious, inexact, and time consuming.

The solution
La Habra used K12 Insight‘s cloud-based Engage survey solution to develop and efficiently administer comprehensive parent and community engagement surveys with “amazing” results.

Today, La Habra:

• Can gather feedback from a broader subset of it community by delivering custom surveys online or offline
• Works with K12 Insight’s expert research staff to develop focus groups and other communications solutions to engage its community at an even deeper level
• Uses Engage, from K12 Insight, to measure other critical factors, such as staff and teacher engagement

Extra credit…
In addition to surveys, La Habra also recently deployed Let’s Talk!™, K12 Insight’s cloud-based communications solution, which makes it possible for the district’s small communications team to easily field and respond to feedback from any member of the school community, from wherever they are.
