We have 15% Parent completion - our goal is 100%!!!!!
5 Essentials Survey
Our parent response rate has nearly tripled from last week to 13%!
Thank you and PLEASE complete the survey if you have not already done so!
As a reminder:
This short survey, being given statewide right now, will only take you about five minutes to complete, but the information you provide will be extremely valuable in helping us pinpoint our strengths and identify where we can do better. Your responses, as well as those from teachers and students in 6th – 8th grade, will show us how we fare in the five areas that have the most impact on student outcomes:
- Effective Leaders
- Collaborative Teachers
- Involved Families
- Supportive Environment
- Ambitious Instruction
The survey is anonymous; no parents, students or teachers will be identified in the school reports, which only present summary information. You can view the privacy policy online.
Follow this link to take the survey at your convenience – but please log in before March 31, when the survey closes.
The Illinois State Board of Education provides answers to frequently asked questions about 5Essentials. If you have other questions about the survey, please contact 5Essentials Customer Support at 1-866-440-1874 or 5essentials@uchicago.edu.

Message from Governor Pat Quinn
Governor Pat Quinn proclaimed today, February 15, as “5Essentials Day” in Illinois to encourage students, teachers and parents to "take 15 minutes on the 15th" to complete the Illinois 5Essentials Survey. The survey opened on February 1 and to date, more than 150,000 people have completed it. The survey will remain open through the end of March 2013.
“The Illinois 5Essentials Survey allows those on the front lines to have a voice, giving decision-makers greater insight into how we can strengthen our schools and make sure Illinois has one of the best education systems in the country,” Governor Quinn said. “Change happens from the bottom up. I encourage Illinois teachers, students and parents to take just 15 minutes to share their experience, wisdom and ideas about improving their local school.”
Parents please complete survey
Parents, thank you very much for completing the 5Essentials survey, we are up to 17%, our goal is 100%. Please complete the survey!! Thank you.
