Post-Graduate Survey
Each year, Rockwood School District asks members of its graduating class to fill out a survey before the end of their high school careers, indicating their plans after graduation. About six months later, the district sends a follow-up survey to check in on the graduates and their plans.
Survey feedback helps Rockwood high school officials ensure that educational programs are meeting the needs of students. The follow-up is also mandated by the state of Missouri, and school districts are accountable for post-graduate information.
Each year, during the month of April, the Rockwood Research, Evaluation and Assessment Department collects initial post-graduation intentions from our previous class of seniors.
