CPS Panorama Surveys

Cambridge Public Schools strives to provide high-quality learning experiences that meet the needs of all of our scholars and build welcoming schools.

We routinely invite families, staff, and students (grades 3-12) to answer questions to help identify areas of strength and where we can grow, informing our district and school improvement efforts. Surveys we share through Panorama include:

District and School Culture Survey: This is a helpful tool in identifying what students need to thrive in school, what educators to feel supported, and what families need to feel welcome, but represents neither an academic nor scientific means of collecting data. The purpose is to capture a snapshot of feedback from a particular time to help inform the district’s analysis in planning for continuous improvement in all school communities.

Communications and Content Survey: This survey collects feedback on our communications methods to inform our strategy.
