The survey is a research-based school improvement system that defines, measures, and utilizes the most important organizational conditions, including aspects of a school’s culture and climate, to improve student outcomes.
By taking this survey, you will help the district improve attendance rates, testing grades, increase our knowledge of safety, and more. Please take a few minutes to help CES be the best we can be!
