2025 School Family Engagement Report: National K-12 Benchmarks & Parent Satisfaction Data
How are families experiencing their schools? What levels of parent satisfaction, school communication, and community engagement are schools achieving today? The 2025 School Family Engagement Report from Possip provides national benchmark data from more than 1,200 schools across 31 states and Washington, D.C., helping school and district leaders understand trends in family engagement, school climate, stakeholder communication, and continuous improvement.
Based on millions of text messages and emails, nearly 200,000 unique family voices, and more than 157,000 community feedback responses, this report highlights how schools are using continuous listening to strengthen relationships with families and create more responsive learning environments. The report includes benchmark data on parent, staff, and student sentiment, multilingual engagement, communication frequency, and overall school satisfaction, providing valuable comparisons for K-12 leaders seeking to improve their own family engagement strategies.
The findings demonstrate the power of ongoing stakeholder feedback. Schools using Possip gather input eight to fourteen times each year rather than relying solely on annual surveys, enabling leaders to identify concerns earlier, celebrate successes more consistently, and make informed decisions based on real-time feedback. The report also highlights a consistent trend across partner schools: families share approximately twice as many positive comments as concerns, giving educators meaningful opportunities to recognize what is working while continuously improving the school experience.
Whether you’re a superintendent, principal, family engagement leader, or district administrator, this report offers actionable benchmarks and data-driven insights to strengthen school communication, improve family engagement, and build a stronger school community. Download the report to compare your school’s performance with national trends and discover how continuous listening supports better outcomes for students, families, and educators.
