2024 NYC SCHOOL SURVEY
What is the NYC School Survey? Every year, families, teachers, and students in grades 6-12 take the NYC School Survey. The survey helps school administrators understand what parents think about the learning environment and the quality of education children are receiving. The information captured by the survey is to support a dialogue among all parents of a school about how to make the school a better place for learning.
