The Panorama Survey
What is the Panorama Survey?
-
Columbus City Schools (CCS) created the vision that each student will have a world-class model of public education that prepares all students to be Portrait-ready graduates and reach their full potential.
The Panorama Survey, administered yearly since 2017-18, was developed by CCS in partnership with Panorama Education to measure progress toward that goal and gather feedback from our community. This year, we are excited about the new, shortened, more streamlined version that will allow us to take action steps based on your feedback.
For questions, please contact us at panorama@columbus.k12.oh.us.
