One ecosystem. Every voice that shapes a school.

Families, students, and staff each get an instrument built for them: age-appropriate, role-aware, and scored on the same trusted scale so leaders can compare like with like.

Families get a single, bilingual survey per campus.

One clear instrument, no logins, no jargon. Delivered in English and Spanish so every household can respond in the language they live in.

  • Measures all six domains, from Safe & Supportive Environment to Inclusion & Family Voice
  • Responses are anonymized, with no PII stored alongside answers
  • Compared side-by-side with student perception in Family vs. Student view

Students answer instruments built for their grade band.

Reading level, scale type, and item wording all shift by age, so a second-grader and a senior each get questions that actually fit.

  • Smiley scales for the youngest learners, agreement scales by high school
  • Discipline-fairness items always reportable by race & ethnicity
  • Belonging and wellbeing tracked from elementary through graduation

Staff climate, on a two-track instrument.

Campus staff and operations & support staff each answer questions tuned to their role, then roll up into eight staff-climate domains and a retention signal.

  • Tracks Leadership Support, Psychological Safety, workload & burnout risk
  • Surfaces retention intent: who plans to stay three-plus years
  • Department-level filtering for targeted human-capital decisions
