"On our journey to improve school quality, we asked ourselves, ‘Are we meeting the requirements of our students and families?’ One of those requirements is a safe, caring, welcoming environment, and we now have a better tool to measure that in a reliable and valid way."

Why It Matters

Survey data shows you more than what's happening—it helps uncover the experiences, perceptions, and root causes influencing student outcomes. A student’s perception of their environment is a powerful leading indicator of their success. When students feel a strong sense of belonging and safety, their academic engagement and attendance naturally improve.

With context you unlock from climate surveys, your teams can take targeted action, from improving school climate to addressing root causes of absenteeism and disengagement—consistently, across every school in your district.

Yes. Panorama worked with researchers at the Harvard Graduate School of Education to develop best-in-class, research-backed school culture surveys for students, teachers, staff, and families. We developed our surveys using a rigorous six-step design process that ensures reliability and validity from the beginning. Additionally, these surveys are used by districts nationwide and benchmarked against national datasets.

Are the survey questions age-appropriate for younger students?

Absolutely. To ensure data accuracy and high response rates, Panorama tiers certain questions by grade level to ensure distinct, developmentally appropriate question banks. We offer tailored survey versions for elementary, middle, and high school students, so the vocabulary matches each student's reading and comprehension level.

Can we use Panorama to survey teachers and families or just students?
