The aggregate score was determined as the average of the differences among “School” variable differential from 2016 – 2014; as compared to all high schools, Stokes County High Schools, and all schools. The purpose of the aggregate score was specifically to look at gaps between different demographics and to determine a sense of priorities among all of the constructs in relationship to a multiplicity of variables. {See complete results below}

2. Teachers feel comfortable raising issues and concerns that are important to them.

3. School administrators consistently enforce rules for student conduct.
