5 Essentials Survey

5 Essentials Survey

Parents, students, and teachers across Illinois will once again have an opportunity to participate in the annual statewide Illinois 5Essentials Survey. This survey is designed to generate a detailed picture of your child’s school as it relates to the important elements of school effectiveness.

On behalf of the Illinois State Board of Education, the Illinois 5Essentials Survey is administered online by the University of Chicago. All survey responses will be kept confidential. The state will provide survey results for individual schools only if a school has at least 20 percent of parents take the survey.  If you have children attending more than one school, we ask that you complete the survey for each school.

If we reach 20 percent survey completion, the students will get a pajama day.

To take this short survey:

  1. Visit 5 Essentials Survey Link and select Parent Survey
  2. Type and select “Dupage” as "County." (The county is the location of the school district's main office.)
  3. Type your school's name into the "School" field and select your school.
  4. Once you have completed the survey, click Submit Survey
