Ridgewood High School Social Norms Survey Called “Questionable ” by Reader

RHS social norms

As someone who conducts many surveys as part of my job in communications, a survey like this is questionable. To start with the people most likely to respond to a survey, take the time out to thoughtfully and honestly do so, are the ones most likely to report positive behaviors. I dont have data on it, but my experience says that those students who are engaging in the less than optimal behaviors arent going to wast their time on a survey or answering honestly. I didnt notice, did it say what % of students responded? Would have been interesting to have also had them gather additional data such as which Elementary school they went to (neighborhood data) and if possible average GPA. If this data was true, we wouldnt be seeing and hearing about it so much. Very concerning. I’d like to figure out how we can actively address this!

  1. The whole point of these surveys are to validate how great RW schools are.
    Nobody believes they are accurate.
    They are just tools used (or ignored) to support an agenda.
    Total waste of time and resources.

  2. The kids are not stipid. Why bring attention to their weekend activities?

  3. and what percentage of them lied on the survey?
