StoryScore™ Rating

StoryScore™ Rating | SprXdata™ STORYSCORE™RATING SprX™ is a technology platform by Interactive Schools #InspiringSchools to share their story Book a demo Social media for Schools Have you ever wondered how well your school is doing on social media? Are you focussed on just the ‘likes’, or do you care about the breadth of your story, quality, and whether or not you are truly living into your school values? As the leading creative storytelling agency for schools in the world, we care about every story, shared by every person, at every school, on any social media platform, ever! (Wow, that’s a lot of caring!) How do you measure your overall storytelling success, and benchmark against other schools? In order to shine a light on what is meaningful on social media, we decided to get our data scientists and technical analysts to pull every platform apart, and then throw it into a blender with our social media expertise and strategy. The #StoryScore™️ Rating Algorithm was born. What is a #StoryScore™ Rating? The #StoryScore™ Rating is a numeric value between 0 and 100 based on an intelligent weighting of useful data points. The higher the score, the better the ranking. But how is it calculated? We are not keeping this a secret [SEE DIAGRAM], as we want schools to work on their storytelling & content strategy and really engage with their community. For this first release, we are only ranking schools on X and Instagram. storyscore™ algorithm Hashtag in Bio If you do not have a relevant hashtag (#BrandedHashtag preferred of course) in your social media bios, you will quickly miss out on an easy 3% towards your score! Engagement Rate Look at how many followers you have on each platform, then on average how many of them like what you are posting? Time to cleanse your followers, or post better content. Hashtag Rate We love a good hashtag (#BrandedHashtag preferred of course), as they bring relevancy, context and discoverability to your posts. Are you using these on every post? Values Rate How many of your posts include any of your school values? Or are they just empty words on your website or poster in the school reception? Start using them, and living in to what you stand for! Story Rate How often do you post, and what is your ‘posting per pupil ratio’? Bigger schools should be sharing more content. WANT TO FIND OUT MORE? If you would like to see the detail behind your school #StoryScore™ Rating, or update us with your new school values, please reach out using this form.

Bay Grasses in Classes

Bay Grasses in Classes is a community restoration program in which Shorecrest students grow smoothcord grass on the Shorecrest campus (behind the football field) and eventually transplant it back into the Bay. About once every 2 weeks the eighth graders check water quality, weed, check for diseases, and perform basic maintenance on the plot. They have clocked 20 hours this year working on the grasses. Melinda Spall, a representative from Tampa Bay Watch, contacted us about our bay grasses (BGIC). Mrs. Spall stated that they are growing very well and that she is going to come and take a few trays of grass to put on display at the Restore America's Estuaries Conference, a national conference at the Tampa Convention Center. Shorecrest will be mentioned within the display regarding this restoration project. Melinda sent a thank-you note saying, "Thanks again for letting TBW borrow your Salt Marsh trays for our display! I've attached a picture of how they looked in our display, we had two of these mini salt marsh nurseries. Thanks so much for helping us make RAE Conference 2012 a success!"

Strategic Planning

2025 Ormond Beach Strategic Plan The City began formally adopting a strategic plan in 2015 and has continued to regularly update its goals and priorities through City Commission workshops and progress reports. This process supports good governance and is vital in providing for the efficient use of staff and financial resources. In 2025, the City of Ormond Beach engaged Strategic Government Resources (SGR) to assist the City Commission in updating its Strategic Plan. SGR facilitated a two-day goal-setting workshop on March 12 and March 13, with a follow-up workshop on May 6, 2025, to review and finalize the City Commission's goals and priorities for the remainder of this election term. As part of this process, the City Commission revised the City's vision statement, mission statement, and organizational values and reaffirmed the following strategic pillars established in the City's 2019 Strategic Plan: Transportation & Community Development Economic Development Governance Public Safety Quality of Life Water Quality and Environment The 2025 Strategic Plan identifies the goals and priorities agreed upon for each strategic pillar and will be utilized to help guide the City's efforts and resources for the betterment of our community. Progress reports will be published regularly to measure intended outcomes and results.
