NYCPS Survey

Every year, we ask families, teachers, and staff of grades 3-K through 12, and students in grades 6–12 to take the NYC School Survey. The survey gives school leaders a better understanding of what members of their school community think about their school. The information collected by the survey is designed to support a dialogue among all members of the school community about how to make the school a better place to learn.

The 2026 NYC Public Schools Survey is open from February 9 to April 1, 2026.

For Families

Step 1: Get What You Need to Start

If your child attends an NYCPS or Charter School, you will need your child's nine-digit student identification number (OSIS) to begin the survey online. You can find the OSIS number on your child's report card or student ID. If you cannot locate it, contact your child's school.

If your child attends an Early Childhood Education Program, you will receive a unique access code from your child's program to take the survey. If you have not received it, contact your child's program.

Step 2: Enter Your Access Code

  • NYCPS and Charter School Families
    Enter a lowercase “f” followed by your child’s nine-digit OSIS number (example: f123456789).

  • Early Childhood Education Program Families
    Enter the unique access code provided by your child’s program. Do not add any letters or spaces before or after the access code.
