2019 DCC Student Survey
& Timelines

1/2020:  106 students filled out the DCC Student Survey in December 2019 and nearly 2/3rd of those offered comments and suggestions.  We want to thank our students for their invaluable input - nearly one-third of our student body filled out the survey. 

94% of students rated District Clay as Good or Excellent.  Some of the other major results are below. 

NEXT STEPS:  District Clay is working on actions plans to further improve our students experience at District Clay.  These include additional teacher instruction, improved production turnaround times and shorter and more frequent intensives and workshops, among others. 

FEBRUARY 13 UPDATE:  Click here to see our Timeline and To Do List for making improvements at District Clay.  

The full survey, including lengthy student comments, is available in the DCC office.   More detailed action plans, including our February 13 update, are also posted in the Center in the Big Wheel Room, the Small Wheel Room and the Handbuilding Room.
