K-12 Operating System Health Study

Why this Study Matters

Every community invests significant time, talent, and resources in helping students thrive. Yet the impact of those investments depends in part on the operating system shaping daily operations, strategic priorities, and improvement efforts.


Despite decades of effort and many successes, we have yet to prepare every student to thrive beyond high school.


Making the Invisible Visible

The K–12 Operating System Health Study explores stakeholder perceptions of how information flows, decisions are made, and people work together to support student learning.


The goal is not to assign blame, but to understand what's working and where experiences differ. Bringing these perspectives together can help us reimagine how these systems work and create the conditions for every student and adult supporting them to thrive.

Take the Survey

 The survey is open through mid-November. 

Get Started

What Can Shared Understanding Make Possible?

We believe shared understanding can help communities:

  • Get on the same page about what is working well and where greater attention may be needed. 
  • Better understand what helps or gets in the way of people working together effectively. 
  • Strengthen the operating system that supports a school system’s ability to achieve its mission and better serve every student and the adults who support them.


The inaugural survey also begins a longer-term learning effort aimed at helping communities become more coordinated, coherent, and better able to consistently achieve the outcomes they aspire to for every student. 

What Is a Founding Learning Partner?


Founding Learning Partners are organizations using the survey to learn alongside their communities, establish an initial baseline, develop shared understanding, and be better positioned to take meaningful action.  They are also positioned to participate in a broader learning community with other partners, sharing insights and practices as the work develops. 

 

Founding Learning Partners will receive:

  • Advance access to national findings to enable leadership conversations and place local experiences in a broader K–12 context. 
  • Summaries of findings across stakeholder groups showing where experiences and perspectives align, differ, or point to areas worth exploring more deeply. 
  • Learning conversations and webinars to help communities understand the findings and consider the implications for their organizations. 
  • Opportunities to shape future learning and research as the surveys and supporting evidence base develop.

What to Expect

Launch Window

The inaugural national administration is anticipated for mid-October 2026, with the survey expected to remain open for until mid-November. 

Preliminary Time Commitment

Approximately 15–20 minutes for most respondents. 

Confidentiality

To protect confidentiality, IP address tracking has been disabled. Survey results will be shared only in aggregate, and individual responses will never be shared in a way that identifies respondents, including with school districts, employers, participating organizations, or other respondents.
