Surveys for Schools

Panorama Education complies with FERPA, PPRA, COPPA, is a member of the Student Data Privacy Consortium, and is a proud signatory of the Student Privacy Pledge, ensuring robust data security and privacy. In addition, Panorama is SOC 2 compliant, underscoring our commitment to upholding stringent levels of data security and integrity when it comes to student data. 

Local school districts decide what works best for their students, including when and how they administer surveys, and which questions they ultimately include on their surveys.

Panorama Education’s survey technology and research-backed survey templates are designed to help students succeed. We worked with researchers at the Harvard Graduate School of Education to develop best-in-class, research-backed surveys for students, teachers, staff, and families on topics like school climate and school safety.

Our recommended survey questions do not ask about students’—or their families’—personal and private attitudes, values, beliefs, or practices.

We developed our surveys using a rigorous six-step design process that ensures reliability and validity from the beginning. And we analyzed data from millions of students in thousands of K–12 schools across the U.S. to demonstrate the psychometric strength of our surveys.

Absolutely! Panorama offers customizability and flexibility, allowing you to modify surveys to align with the specific requirements of your school or district. You can select topics and scales from our bank of research-backed questions. You also have the option to run district-developed survey content.

School surveys drive school improvement by helping you gather valid and reliable feedback from your community, including students, families, teachers, and staff. School surveys can give you insight into belonging, teacher-student relationships, school climate and safety, family engagement, teacher perceptions, and more. By collecting this feedback, schools and districts can take informed action to enhance educational experiences and create positive learning environments.
