Student Voice

FFC8's ultimate goal is to prepare today's youth for tomorrow's responsibilities.  In order to do this, the school must listen to and provide opportunities for students to express how they feel about their school.   The charts below represent student responses to questions about safety, academics, culture, and connection.   This survey is administered twice a year.  The most recent results are displayed below.

Mesa is proud of the relationships built between all staff members and students. While 96% is a great celebration, our goal is to have 100% of our students feel they have at least one adult they can go to if they need help. 

Overall, Mesa students feel safe and cared for at school, and strategies are embedded to help them be successful across settings. Mesa staff will continue to focus on building and maintaining meaningful relationships with students and work to ensure all students know of at least one adult at Mesa who they believe will listen to them. Mesa staff meet with students each morning (morning meeting) and afternoon (closing circle) and use this time to allow students to reflect on their needs. Information from these meetings will continue to be used to help students access adult support and build their agency across all settings at Mesa.
