Internet Access Survey

Published June 6, 2008

A growing number of Williamson County students are able to surf the world-wide web from the comfort of their own home.  According to a recent telephone survey, 94 percent of Williamson County students have the ability to access the internet from home.  That's up three percent from last year. 

Williamson County Schools Instructional Technology Coordinator Belinda Moss says the information helps the district guide instructional planning.  "Students with internet access at home are able to use search engines for homework, online encyclopedias and other tools," said Moss.  "It also allows us to provide parents with access to student grades online."

Each school gathers the information from parents and the central office reports it to the state.  In Williamson County, Crockett Elementary School reported the highest percentage of students with internet access at 99.6%.  The following shows how Williamson County compares to some of the surrounding school districts:
