Two of the most important criteria for decision making are (1) to target resources toward services of the highest importance to customers; and (2) to target resources toward those services where customers are the least satisfied. The Importance-Satisfaction (I-S) rating is a unique tool that allows public officials to better understand both of these highly important decision making criteria for each of the services they are providing. The Importance-Satisfaction rating is based on the concept that organizations will maximize overall customer satisfaction by emphasizing improvements in those service categories where the level of satisfaction is relatively low and the perceived importance of the service is relatively high. Methodology The rating is calculated by summing the percentage of responses for items selected as the first, second, and third most important Academy services and programs. This sum is then multiplied by 1 minus the percentage of parents that indicated they were positively satisfied with the Academy's performance in the related area (the sum of the ratings of 4 and 5 on a 5-point scale excluding “don't know” responses). “Don't know” responses are excluded from the calculation to ensure that the satisfaction ratings among service categories are comparable. [I-S=Importance x (1-Satisfaction)]. Example of the Calculation. Parents were asked to identify the Academy services and programs they felt were most important. Twenty-three percent (22.9%) of parents ranked the college preparation process as the most important Academy service. With regard to satisfaction, the college preparation process was ranked twenty-second overall with 71.2% rating the college preparation process as a “4” or a “5” on a 5-point scale, excluding “don't know” and “not applicable” responses. The I-S rating for the college preparation process was calculated by multiplying the sum of the most important percentages by 1 minus the sum of the satisfaction percentages. In this example, 22.9% was multiplied by 28.8% (1-0.712). This calculation yielded an I-S rating of 0.0660, which was ranked third out of the thirty-four services and programs accessed on the survey. 2013 Westlake Academy/Board of Trustee Parent Survey: Draft Report ETC Institute (2013)Page 37 IMP O R T A N C E -SAT I S F A C T I O N ANA L Y S I S The maximum rating is 1.00 and would be achieved when 100% of the parents selected the service or program as one of the three most important areas and 0% indicate that they are positively satisfied with the delivery of the service. The lowest rating is 0.00 and could be achieved under either one of the following two situations: • if 100% of the parents were positively satisfied with the delivery of the service • if none (0%) of the parents selected the service as one of the three most important areas; this was the case for five of the Academy services/programs assessed on the survey. Interpreting the Ratings Ratings that are greater than or equal to 0.20 identify areas that should receive significantly more emphasis. Ratings from .10 to .20 identify service areas that should receive increased emphasis. Ratings less than .10 should continue to receive the current level of emphasis. • Definitely Increase Emphasis (IS>=0.20) • Increase Current Emphasis (0.10<=IS<0.20) • Maintain Current Emphasis (IS<0.10) The results for the Westlake Academy Survey are provided on the following page. 2013 Westlake Academy/Board of Trustee Parent Survey: Draft Report ETC Institute (2013)Page 38 Importance-Satisfaction Rating Westlake Academy Board of Trustees Parent Survey Satisfaction With Westlake Academy Programs and Services Category of Service Most Important % Most Important RankSatisfaction % Satisfaction Rank Importance- Satisfaction Rating I-S Rating Rank High Priority (IS .20-.10) MYP teachers/faculty 26%253%330.12091 Medium Priority (IS <.10) Academic progress of children 45%178%160.09852 College preparation process 23%471%220.06603 MYP Curriculum 13%772%210.03714 Social and emotional progress of children 21%584%90.03345 Communications regarding issues/problems related to children 9%970%240.02586 IB (International Baccalaureate) curriculum 24%390%20.02527 PYP Curriculum 9%882%110.01648 PYP teachers/faculty 17%691%10.01579 Quality of education provided by Westlake Academy 7%1181%120.013610 DP teachers/faculty 8%1087%60.010011 The adopted five year strategic plan 2%1851%340.009812 Quality of communication from WA 4%1478%180.007713 The Security Check-In System at the Main Entrance 4%1381%130.007714 The Secondary Counseling department 2%1773%200.005415 The Primary Counseling department 2%1964%290.005316 Suitability of the campus for learning 4%1288%40.004817 Opportunities for parent input 1%2255%310.004518 Access to online grades 3%1685%70.003819 The four House system for students 1%2165%280.003520 Extracurricular sports programs 1%2067%270.003321 DP Curriculum 3%1588%50.003022 Other extracurricular programs 1%2658%300.002123 Primary Report Card 1%2567%260.001624 Opportunities for parental involvement 1%2485%80.000825 Maintenance of the Academy 1%2388%30.000626 Academy website 0%2784%100.000027 Methods of communication from WA 0%2880%140.000028 Effectiveness of the Westlake Academy Foundation (WAF)0%2980%150.000029 Secondary Report Card 0%3078%170.000030 Effectiveness of the House of Commons (HOC)0%3175%190.000031 Effectiveness of the Westlake Academy Athletic Club (WAAC)0%3271%230.000032 The school uniform vendor 0%3369%250.000033 The school lunch program 0%3454%320.000034 Note: The I-S Rating is calculated by multiplying the "Most Important" % by (1-'Satisfaction' %) Most Important %: The "Most Important" percentage represents the sum of the first, second, and third most important responses for each item.

ETC Institute developed an Importance-Satisfaction Matrix to display the perceived importance of the programs and services that were assessed on the survey against the perceived quality of service delivery. The two axes on the matrix represent Satisfaction (vertical) and relative Importance (horizontal). The I-S (Importance-Satisfaction) matrix should be interpreted as follows. • Continued Emphasis (above average importance and above average satisfaction). This area shows where Westlake Academy is meeting parent’s expectations. Items in this area have a significant impact on parent’s overall level of satisfaction. Westlake Academy should maintain (or slightly increase) emphasis on items in this area. • Exceeding Expectations (below average importance and above average satisfaction). This area shows where Westlake Academy is performing significantly better than parents expect the Academy to perform. Items in this area do not significantly affect the overall level of satisfaction that parents have with Westlake Academy services. The Academy should maintain (or slightly decrease) emphasis on items in this area. • Opportunities for Improvement (above average importance and below average satisfaction). This area shows where Westlake Academy is not performing as well as parents expect the Academy to perform. This area has a significant impact on parent’s satisfaction, and Westlake Academy should DEFINITELY increase emphasis on items in this area. • Less Important (below average importance and below average satisfaction). This area shows where Westlake Academy is not performing well relative to the Academy’s performance in other areas; however, this area is generally considered to be less important to parents. This area does not significantly affect overall satisfaction with Westlake Academy services because the items are less important to parents. The Academy should maintain current levels of emphasis on items in this area.

So many wonderful things have happened over this past decade, and we have much of which to be proud. As it is with all things, however, there is always room for improvement, and Westlake Academy is no exception. Towards that end, we are enclosing our 2012-2013 Parent Survey and hope that you will take the time to complete the questions. Westlake Academy’s vision and mission are “to inspire students to achieve their highest individual potential in a nurturing environment that fosters the traits found in the IB Learner Profile” and “to provide students with an internationally minded education of the highest quality so that they are well-balanced and respectful life long learners.” Please take this opportunity to tell us your opinion of how we are doing. The Westlake Academy Board of Trustees and Staff view your input as a critical component of their decision making process as they work to guide the future direction of the School. It is only with your help that we can make meaningful improvements in the International Baccalaureate education that we offer our students in the “Shining School on the Hill.” Please return your survey in the enclosed return-reply envelope to the ETC INSTITUTE, 725 W. Frontier Circle, Olathe, KS 66061. If you have questions, you should contact Administrative Coordinator Ben Nibarger at (817) 490-5762 or via e-mail at bnibarger@westlakeacademy.org. We hope that you have had a successful school year, that your summer will be a time of joy and rejuvenation, and that you find your back in August ready to begin anew.
