We Take the "Guesswork" Out of What Students and Parents Find
Beneficial or Lacking in Your School by Using Our Survey
While
the well being of a private school is ultimately the responsibility of the Board
of Governors, there are a variety of stakeholder groups who are interested in
and share in the day-to-day well-being of your school, including: parents,
alumni/ae, staff, faculty, and community members who understand the school's
educational and economic importance.
Whether
in anticipation of a major fundraising campaign, a strategic plan , or to improve the school's
connection with its constituency, an independent and professionally conducted survey
can serve a most valuable purpose.
HEG’s Survey can
reveal to you the reason for families' decisions in areas that impacting your
enrollment, donations, and perceptions on school operations and management. We
find that families are more willing to share their perceptions more openly to a
third-party than someone at your school. A school's view
of itself and how it is doing in serving its community can be very different
from how the marketplace views the school. HEG’s surveys can offer critical insight
into what your constituency sees as your school’s strengths, areas for
improvement, and priorities for your school, allowing you greater understanding
of your market's needs and wants.

Boards recognize that they need to evaluate the Head of School on annually.

of the Head of School in meeting his or her annual goals, and in performance of
day-to-day work such as program management, fund raising, and Board-Head
relations. The Head of School Assessment Survey evaluates a Head’s performance
against twelve key competencies. The approach utilizes a 360 degree process to
rate the performance by people who know something about the Head and their
work. The Head completes their own self-assessment that is compared against
feedback from the Board and colleagues, including direct reports, administration,
staff, parents, or other stakeholders, in fact anybody whose opinion you seek
and who is familiar with the Head’s work can be included in the feedback
process. This multi-source approach can provide real insight into how different

perceptions to those around them. The 360 feedback report is in
