Asking simple multiple choice questions for some subjects, such as extracurricular activities offered wont paint the full picture of what parents value. To get a more accurate assessment, a MaxDiff or Ranking question can be used. Both question types are unique to SurveyKing and are included in the survey template. Below is a quick explanation of how they can add value data to your survey.

This is actionable data that can be used to shape decision making.

This question type asks respondents to rank in order a certain number of attributes. In this example the parents can pick their top two extracurricular activities.

Results can be shared with one click giving access to school boards or accretion board. The shared report links can be edited by board members without affecting your local report. This gives them the ability to drill into the data and draw their own conclusions.

Simple multiple choice or dropdown questions, will include a bar or pie chart along with a data table.

Advanced question types like MaxDiff will show each attribute along with the percentage and count of the times it was ranked as most appealing, least appealing, or not chosen. If you segment these results, maybe by department, a data table will be shown for each segment.

The ranking question will compute a weighted calculation score. Attributes ranked first are given a higher value or "weight." The score, computed for each attribute, is the sum of all the weighted values. The data table will also include a distribution of how each attribute was ranked.
