Swift Creek High School partners with Panorama Education to give “school climate” surveys to students

Swift Creek High School partnered with Panorama Education Inc. to give students a “school climate” survey. A report was created for the high school on March 4, 2021, that covered the results of the survey provided to students in the fall 2020 semester. The fall 2020 survey does not appear to be the first given to students as the report compares the results to a previous survey. The “school climate” survey asked students what they thought of their teachers and classmates.

Panorama Education is known for helping schools throughout the country survey the race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and gender identity of students in an effort to push “equity and inclusion” in school systems. The organization offers an “Equity and Inclusion Survey” to “help schools and districts track the progress of equity initiatives through the lens of students and staff, identify areas for celebration and improvement, inform professional development, and signal the importance of equity and inclusion to the community.”
