Why should your school participate in the Jewish Day School Parent Survey?

  • Understand the perceived value of your school from your most important stakeholder - your parents.
  • Identify those factors that have the greatest impact on your school's ability to attract new students and retain existing students .
  • Compare your scores against your peer group of Jewish day schools (i.e. affiliation, region, size), and—if conducted repeatedly—against your own prior results.
  • Gain insights into parents' perceptions of local competition (public, private, magnet, charter, other Jewish).
  • Examine scores by segment of parents (by grade level, income, affiliation, etc).
  • Fulfill the requirement for a parent survey as a part of an accreditation process.
  • Give parents a formal, constructive, and confidential outlet to share their opinions about your school.
  • Join 77 Jewish day schools already using the Parent Survey!
