Survey 2 parent respondents. Figure 2 shows 80% of parents with access rated visits done well and 61% of parents without access thought visits would have been helpful, both the lowest ratings of any engagement resource.

"Yet, only 10% of parents said that their school offered home visits last year. Of those parents and teachers who indicated that their school offered home visits, only about 80% thought the visits were done well — the lowest rating of any engagement resource or activity."
