Survey Overview
Every year, we ask families, teachers and staff of students in grades 3-K through 12, and students in grades 6-12 to take the NYC School Survey. The survey 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 2026 NYC School Survey is now closed. Survey results will be available later this year.
Upcoming Professional Learning Opportunities
To support school leaders and superintendent teams in using the NYC School Survey results, Panorama Education, in collaboration with the Office of Policy and Evaluation, will offer two upcoming professional learning sessions.
From Data to Direction: Leveraging NYC School Survey Insights with Enhanced Survey Reporting
These 90-minute sessions are designed to help leaders bridge the gap between data collection and decisive action. We’ll dive into the NYC School Survey (NSS) results within the Panorama platform, using Enhanced Survey Reporting (ESR) to make community voices clearer than ever.
Participants will learn how to:
- Explore NYC School Survey reports in Panorama
- Identify trends related to connection, belonging, and school climate
- Spot “bright spots” and growth areas
- Use survey insights to inform school improvement efforts
- Lead data-driven conversations with teams

Help Shape the NYC School Survey
We've heard consistent feedback that the Teacher and Support Staff Survey is too long — and we're doing something about it. We're revising the survey to reduce burden and make sure what remains reflects what matters most to teachers and support staff today.
We want to hear from you. Whether you're a teacher, school leader, or central staff, your perspective helps us build a survey that gives schools actionable data they'll actually use. Tell us which questions should stay, which need a refresh, and which can go.
Note for goal-setting: Next year will be a new baseline year for the Teacher and Support Staff Survey. As you plan ahead, keep this in mind — now is a great time to think about what data will be most meaningful for your work going forward.
