Littleton Public Schools contracted with Public Opinion Strategies in February 2010 to survey a representative sampling of registered voters in the LPS attendance area regarding a variety of issues.

Key findings:

• Local residents give LPS very strong ratings. 73% of those surveyed grade LPS with an "A" or "B".  Essentially, no one believes they are failing.
• 81% of parents grade LPS with an "A" or "B".
• LPS rates strongest in the areas of greatest importance to residents:
  • Teaching students the basic subjects like reading, writing, and math
  • Providing the education that today's students will need for tomorrow's jobs and careers
  • Maintaining a safe environment
• In addition, 73% are confident in the job the district is doing spending taxpayer money wisely.
• The vast majority of both parents and those without children attending LPS continue to say LPS communicates well.
• Across multiple questions, LPS taxpayers applaud:
  • teacher quality
  • choices/options
  • academic standards
  • accountability for taxpayer money
  • safe learning environment
  • access to technology

What they said:

"Excellent teachers, good education, my children excel, very pleased."

"I'm really happy with the schools."

"I think this is a fine district and I can't think of what to add to their curriculum."
