Take the SCDE Parent Survey Today!

Parent and Guardians,

We invite you to take a few minutes to complete the 2026 Parent and Guardian Parent School Survey from the South Carolina Department of Education (SCDE). The survey will be available through April 17, 2026. Your feedback is anonymous and extremely valuable. The information you provide helps schools better meet the needs of students and families while strengthening the overall learning environment. Your responses will also help identify ways to improve parent involvement at the school and district levels. Survey results are included in the school’s annual report card and are used to guide decision-making at the school, district, and state levels.
