5Essentials® Survey
School Improvement with the Center for Model Schools
5Essentials Survey and Framework
Grounded in Research
Aligned to the 5Essentials Framework and backed by 30+ years of research, the 5Essentials Survey meets ESSA criteria as a Tier 2 evidence-based practice.
Proven Academic Outcomes
The 5Essentials Survey and Professional Learning help schools achieve transformational change, including:
- Increased Test Scores
- Improved Attendance and Graduation Rates
- Higher GPA
- Teacher Mobility/Retention
- Freshman on Track
Insights into School Culture
The survey is administered annually to students, teachers, and upon request, families. The resulting data identify schools’ organizational strengths.
