SDoL Surveys

Now more than ever, we need families to help us plan to keep our schools safe, our students healthy and our community confident in how we are educating children.

The School District of Lancaster makes a deep commitment to listen to community voices in the work of our schools. The district partners with Franklin & Marshall College’s Center for Opinion Research to conduct surveys with students, parents/guardians, and staff. These surveys help district leaders gauge things like student perceptions of their schoolwork, parent confidence in the district’s education programs and employee satisfaction. Throughout the year we administer additional surveys to gauge feedback on school climate, athletics, and other key components.

2023-2024 Student Survey Details

The School District of Lancaster is conducting a survey of all students in grades three through twelve. This is a confidential survey that asks questions about students’ perception of their school, their functioning and development, and their academic goals. We are conducting this survey to better understand the perceptions, strengths, and needs of students in the School District of Lancaster. Your child’s participation in the survey is strictly voluntary. However, your child’s participation is important to the success of this effort because the results of the survey will be used to evaluate and improve programs that the School District offers. Below are links to view the student survey along with opt out information if you would not like your student to complete the survey.
