Houston County schools awarded 'What Parents Want' PERRY - The Houston County School System has been selected as a recipient of the “What Parents Want” award for the 11th year in a row. This award, presented by School Match of Columbus, Ohio, ranks Houston County schools in the top 14 percent in the nation. School Match uses its data base on 15,576 nationwide school systems - with data collected from more than 95,000 parents - to select systems to be honored. The criteria used for award selection include a close match to what parents look for in a school system and availability of programs at the secondary level. Surveys reveal that parents most want these factors in a school system: 1) competi tive in academic test scores and academically solid, but not so demanding as to intimidate children; 2) accreditation; 3) recognized for excellence by a national foundation or the U.S. Department of Education; 4) competitive teacher salaries; 5) above average in instructional expenditures on a national basis; 6) above average in expenditures for media services on a national basis; 7) small class sizes. The award was initiated in 1992 by school adminis trators, who asked School Match to use its extensive database to recog nize those schools which are accountable and are meet ing the needs of students. Houston County has won the award every year since 1995.
