• NYC School Survey

  Your School. Your Child. Your Voice.

  Every year, we ask all families, teachers, and staff in grades 3-K through 12, and students in grades 6-12 to take the NYC School Survey. The survey gives school leaders a better understanding of what members of their school community think about their school. The information collected by the survey is designed to support a dialogue among all members of the school community about how to make the school a better place to learn.

  The 2023 NYC School Survey launched on February 13, 2023 and will close on March 31, 2023.

• NYC Kids RISE Save for College Program

  The NYC Kids RISE Save for College Program is a scholarship and savings program designed to make college and career training more accessible for all NYC public school students— regardless of family income or immigration status.

  In partnership with our nonprofit partner, NYC Kids RISE, through the Save for College Program, every kindergarten student enrolled in a participating NYC public school automatically receives a NYC Scholarship Account with an initial $100 allocation on their behalf, unless their parents/guardians “opt out” of the program.

  The Save for College Program began as a pilot in 2017 in the geography of Community School District 30, and now 96% of all eligible students (~13,500 first through fourth graders) in pilot schools have a NYC Scholarship Account with financial assets for their educational futures. Visit the Save for College Program Pilot website to learn more about the pilot phase of the Save for College Program.
