What is a School Climate and Culture Survey?
A School Climate and Culture Survey is a tool designed to assess the perceptions and experiences of students, teachers, staff, and parents.
The main purpose is to gather meaningful insights into how these stakeholders perceive their school and/or district. Topics include belonging and community, student-staff relationships, learning environment and academic rigor, bullying and school safety, discipline, and communication. These aspects are critical as they directly impact academic success, student behavior, social-emotional development, and staff retention and morale.
By conducting this survey, schools can identify bright spots and growth areas, develop data-driven action plans, and ultimately improve the quality of their school community.
