Climate Analysis
Creating a baseline for understanding school climate requires in-depth analyses of stakeholder (teachers, staff, students, parents) perceptions. For this purpose, we’re fans of employing dynamic qualitative surveys and comparing the results across various subgroups and social determinants.
One of the benefits of partnering with Skyrocket for this work is that we can compare the results of your school stakeholder surveys to similar surveys we’ve performed for other clients, as well as to national standards (such as those utilized in Gallup Student Polls), allowing us to produce a dimensional appraisal of your school’s performance in key areas.
