In today’s rapidly changing educational landscape, understanding the climate and culture of your school district is more important than ever. A healthy, inclusive, and supportive school culture can significantly impact student engagement, staff satisfaction, and community involvement. However, conducting a meaningful Climate and Culture Study is no simple task.
Why DIY surveys aren’t enough
While internal surveys can provide some insight into school climate and culture, they often come with significant limitations. One of the biggest challenges is employees, students, or parents may feel like “big brother” is watching, leading to responses that are influenced by concerns about privacy or fear of judgment. As a result, the data gathered may not fully reflect the true dynamics of your district.
Additionally, even if survey data is collected anonymously, there’s often the overwhelming task of sorting and analyzing the results. Without the right expertise, it’s easy to overlook patterns or miss subtle insights that are essential for fostering positive change.
To handle the data analysis, we offer a digital dashboard. This intuitive, user-friendly platform allows school districts to engage with the data in a dynamic way. With the dashboard, you can:
- Visualize key insights: Our platform turns data into interactive visualizations, helping you quickly identify trends and patterns.
- Dive deep into data: Explore specific areas of interest with the ability to drill down into different subsets of your data — whether by building, grade level, or demographic group.
- Track progress over time: Our dashboard enables you to measure improvements or changes over time, so you can see how your culture initiatives are making an impact on an annual basis.

“We have partnered with ExcellenceK12 for our surveys, and the reports we receive back each year showing the data and our trends help us when we sit down to do strategic planning,” said Stan Stratton, superintendent, Riverview School District (Ark.) “I could not imagine doing strategic planning without the information we receive from our parents, students, and staff through our climate surveys.”
