DATA-INFORMED
SOLUTIONS
FOR SCHOOL LEADERS

We recognize that previous survey experiences can be influenced by various factors, and we’re here to help turn that around. Our expertise and sole dedication to education ensure that every survey is conducted with the same care and precision. Common feedback from schools highlights how supportive, professional, and easy the process was from start to finish. Our customized and clear reports make interacting with the data both sensible and extremely helpful.

In addition to our detailed reports and video and live reviews aimed at helping you understand and act on the survey results effectively, we collaborate with education professionals who offer additional consultation and training in board, leadership, and teacher professional development. This ensures that you receive not only clear insights but also have access to expert guidance to support your ongoing development and improvement efforts.

We assure comprehensive communication throughout the survey process and provide regular response rate updates while the survey is open. We are committed to promptly responding to your emails, texts, and phone calls, including on weekends. Our goal is to ensure you have an outstanding experience from start to finish and want to tell other schools about our surveys and service.

Our wide array of surveys and assessment tools are specifically tailored to the school environment and designed to deliver actionable insights. Among them, our Parent & Employee Survey enables schools to measure their performance over time, benchmark against similar institutions, and support the accreditation process. We also offer surveys for leadership and boards, students, and pre-employment evaluations. Repeated use of a SchoolRIGHT survey fosters significant long-term benefits, including increased satisfaction, enhanced professionalism, and ongoing improvement.

Yes, we can customize surveys to meet your specific needs. While many of our tools have stood the test of time and cover nearly every type of survey need a school may have, we can also produce both simple and complex customized surveys as needed. This flexibility ensures that we can provide the most relevant and effective insights for your school.

We employ proven strategies for survey invitations and persistent reminders to make the survey process easy and engaging for participants, ensuring high response rates. Additionally, we provide regular response rate reports to keep the school informed throughout the process, allowing you to encourage completion through general communication.

SchoolRIGHT handles the entire survey process, from design and distribution to data collection, analysis, and reporting, minimizing the time and effort required from your staff.

We adhere to strict data privacy and confidentiality policies, ensuring that all responses are securely collected and anonymized to protect respondent information. The school will never be made aware of the identity of any responses, except in cases of emergency or if threatening comments are made.

Our surveys use research-validated methods, normed data, and advanced analytical tools to ensure pinpoint accuracy and powerful insights. We continually refine our techniques to maintain high standards of reliability and relevance.

Schools that want to grow and make wise and informed decisions MUST survey regularly. Our pricing is designed to support schools like yours without straining your budget. There are no hidden fees and payment is only required after we have delivered your report.

A professionally executed Development program will have a very high focus on building sustained annual givers of various financial capacities and abilities. The "painless fundraiser" such as a candy sale or event does not help form any long-lasting relationship with a donor. While many events serve a very good purpose in a Development program, they cannot be the measure of a successful operation, nor the end-all of the Development program. And while smaller fundraisers such as candy sales may bring in some much-needed cash at different times, the time investment and percentage of return should be carefully scrutinized to determine their continued use. Our approach is not necessarily to eliminate these types of fundraisers, but to help give them a place where they can best be utilized. A true Development program is built-upon many other factors that will help the school gain in much more dramatic ways than events and candy sale fundraisers ever could.

Development leaders in many schools do not have much, if any, training to properly execute a fully functioning Development program. They tend to learn on the job or "by their best guess." The average tenure of a Development professional is under two years! Much of the reason for that is related to training for the task. You will find our program will provide a significant amount of training that has never before been known or realized by those already in the Development role at your school.

Yes! If your school has any plans or desires for a special funding project such as a capital campaign, we can help you get ready for that. If you don't, we will help you understand the strategic Development steps that need to be addressed to undertake a campaign. Campaigns make our schools healthy and we think every school should either be in a campaign of some sort, just have come out of one, or be planning for one!

Our program is ideally designed for schools just wanting to start a Development office or those who already have a young Development presence. It is not necessary to have a dedicated or experienced formal Development leader or team in place, but someone who can be assigned as the main point person. In some cases, this may be the Head of School.

Absolutely! Schools with the greatest long-term viability are those who take this venture seriously, understand its need, and dedicate the time and resources to its success.

Yes. An entire committee, a sub-committee of the board, more than one staff person, or others you assign can all benefit from this education. There is no additional cost to have more than one person going through the program.

If needed, we will help you profile and identify qualified candidates to consider as the lead for your Development program whether this is a full-time, part-time, or volunteer position. It may be someone who is currently on staff, a parent in your school body, or an outside candidate.
