Every building project benefits from a survey to first “get the lay of the land.” This web-based survey completed by teachers, parents, and students (in high schools) comes together in a rich report complete with charts, graphs, narratives, and guidance for analysis.

The School Community Index report is a descriptive tool describing the school community as seen through the eyes of its constituents, with additional information provided by the principal. It is not designed to provide comparisons with other schools, but to help the school learn more about itself and bring focus to planning for improvement in the area of family engagement. The Index is designed to integrate with both the Family Engagement Tool and Solid Foundation as an assessment instrument.
