Every year, students, parents, and teachers across the state are asked to participate in the South Carolina School Climate Survey. This survey asks about participants’ experience with the physical, learning, and social environment at our schools. The results of this survey will be used in calculating school report cards, and information given will be used to make school-, district-, and state-level educational decisions.

The survey is available to teachers and students in Laurens District 55 between February 23, 2026, and April 17, 2026. Parent and Guardian surveys are available from March 23 to April 17, 2026. For easy parent access to the survey, a QR code unique to each child will be sent to families in early March. Completion of the survey should take about ten to fifteen minutes.

We ask that you please take this opportunity to share your feedback, and know that what you share will be greatly valued as we seek to continually grow. If you have any questions, please contact your child’s school. Thank you for your support and for being a vital part of our school community. Together, we are Building a 5-Star Culture of Excellence!
