“The K12 Associates Climate and Diversity surveys provide schools with a wealth of information about bullying behavior on their K-12 campus. It is a great tool for administrators who want to get a snapshot of what is happening and how the school is perceived by students, staff, and parents.”

"We learned so much about our students, staff and parents from K12's climate surveys. Now we have real data to support needed changes in staff development and curriculum."  
 
Darlene Glass, Director of Instruction, Bloomer School District, Bloomer, WI.

“K12’s school climate surveys gave us an understanding of how kids perceive the environment. We identified where and when aggressive behaviors occurred, then we implemented changes throughout our school to target specific problems. We have seen definite improvement in behavior and academic achievement.”
