Edmonds School District Family Survey

The survey focuses on four main areas

• Family Knowledge and Confidence
• Welcoming and Culturally Responsive School Climate
• School Engagement Practices
• School Communication Practices
• District Communication Practices
• Language Access Satisfaction

We also collect background information to ensure we obtain representative survey results.

What is it?

Our Family Survey allows us to continuously collect information from the schools in our district as part of the continuing effort to understand our district families and their experience(s) with us as a district. The responses from this survey help us create better relationships among families, our teachers, principals, and other families. All responses collected are voluntary and anonymous. 

Our Process 

The Edmonds School District used the Road Map project's amazing work to develop its own culturally responsive data-collection process. This process has evolved into a two-year cycle for schools in the Edmonds School District. 

All 34 schools alternate between one year of culturally responsive data collection using the district's Family Survey and 2-3 focus groups on topics related to the Family Survey results from the prior year. 

This process follows a "Cycle of Inquiry" model that allows schools to look deeper into their Family Engagement practices and provides another way to collect the family voice. The data gathered during these processes are used to build School Improvement Plans.
