WCEA-WASC Survey Results

Saint Vincent de Paul School, inspired by its Catholic legacy, provides an educational environment where students take risks and challenge assumptions by embracing opportunities, learning to think innovatively, and growing courageously in relationship with Christ.

Thank you to those who responded to the WCEA/WASC Parent Survey. Approximately 55% of parents participated. Below is the breakdown of participation by grade level.

As part of our WCEA–WASC accreditation process, parents were invited to share feedback across four key domains: Catholic Identity and Faith Formation, Governance and Leadership, Academic Excellence, and Safe and Supportive Environment. The results provided valuable insights into our strengths and areas for continued growth.
