It is interesting to note that the most frequent answer last year to the open response question, “What do you like most about MLK Charter School?” was student uniforms. This answer was followed by others that closely reflected the school’s mission of academic excellence, character development and beloved community. This year, only 6% of respondents mentioned student uniforms in answer to that question. It seems that there has been a shift in strengthening parent support of the school’s mission with student uniforms being a factor in the support of the overall culture rather than driving it. --------- 2007 Parent Satisfaction Survey Surveys were sent home with students in March, 2007.

What do you like the least about MLK Charter School? Facility Problems with school buses Would like more opportunities for parent involvement More field trips "I had a few problems a while back, but felt like teachers and administration were very concerned | and handled things quickly and effectively. I was considering removing my daughter | | for next year, but now that is not an option. I very much enjoy the idea of MLKCS and plan | to support it as long as daughter attends. (hopefully thru 5th grade). I think for its first | | year the school has been successful!" | | | | | |
