The Philly School Experience Survey is one of the best tools we have to learn how parents and guardians feel about their children's experiences in schools. The survey results help us see what's working and where more support is needed to support schools in developing successful students. Your responses help us measure progress toward the Board of Education's Goals & Guardrails and improve our schools and services in various ways including informing annual school plans and funding priorities, clarifying the community resources that students and families need, and more.
Schools use the survey results to:
- Design their annual plans and secure funding for staff, programs, and materials.
- Work to improve key aspects of the school experience like communication, instruction, and equity.
- Help build a stronger educational environment that truly serves our students and community.
- Celebrate progress and success!
The survey is short. It takes 5-10 minutes to complete. The survey is anonymous. Parents and guardians do not need to enter a student ID number to take the survey. Each household can take the survey one time for each school that your children attend. Visit philasd.org/pses for more information and to find results from past years. If you have additional questions, email schoolsurveys@philasd.org.
The survey closes on Friday, June 13.
