NYC School Survey

Survey Overview

Each year, all parents, teachers, and students in grades 6-12 take the NYC School Survey. The survey is aligned to the DOE's Framework for Great Schools. It is designed to collect important information about each school's ability to support student success. School leaders can use feedback from the survey to reflect and improve schools and programs. You can learn more about the NYC School Survey by contacting your school or program.

The 2017 NYC School Survey results are now available at tools.nycenet.edu/guide/.

The 2017 NYC School Survey results are a part of the 2016-17 School Quality Guide, which also includes the latest Quality Review Reports and the 2016-17 Framework ratings. This online report format replaces the NYC School Survey PDFs that were used to report survey results in prior years.
