Impact Index is a combination of the penalty and the % reporting the problem. It represents the percent of potential improvement that can be realized if the occurrence of the problem is reduced to zero.
Penalty is the rise in satisfaction that would occur if the incidence of the problem is reduced to zero.

ELEMENTARY STUDENT RATINGS FOR AREAS OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT
Elementary students rated six separate areas of the school district in this study. Specific results for these areas are contained later in the report.
The most common pattern on this chart is for younger (elementary) students to rate their teachers very highly, but to be more critical of the school bus service.

OVERALL SATISFACTION MODEL: ELEMENTARY STUDENTS
Penalty represents the effect of the problem on satisfaction for those people who experienced the issue. In other words, it is the rise in satisfaction that would occur if the incidence of the problem
is reduced to zero.
Impact Index is a combination of the penalty and the % reporting the problem. It represents the percent of potential improvement, from the current score to the maximum possible score, that can be realized if the occurrence of the problem is reduced to zero.
