The 5Essentials Survey identifies indicators leading to improved student outcomes like attendance and test scores. Schools strong in at least three areas are more likely to enhance student results. The annual survey in Illinois provides valuable data for school improvement efforts and educates parents and communities on school environments. Administered online by Chicago Impact at the University of Chicago, the survey is anonymous and supports educational excellence.
The five indicators that positively affect school success are:
