Independent schools throughout the country use the comprehensive ISACS School Community Survey for self-evaluation purposes, strategic planning, and/or marketing research. With more than 500,000 surveys in its database, ISACS offers one of the country's best resources for benchmarking data on virtually every element of a school's operations. In addition to benchmarking, the ISACS School Community Survey includes internal constituent group comparisons, statistical analysis, and graphical reports.
