Honest Report · Add Your Experience
Share what the school is actually like
Verified contributors fill in what official data can't capture — climate, culture, and what families actually experience.
How verification works
1
Confirm your connection
Tell us whether you're a parent, student, or staff member — and the school year you're reflecting on. We don't collect your name or any identifying information beyond your role.
2
Write from your experience
Your note describes what you personally observed or experienced. No rumors, no second-hand accounts, no generalizations. 40–600 characters — enough to be useful, short enough to stay specific.
3
Moderation review
Every note is reviewed before publication. We check for: no student PII, no brigading, genuine first-hand experience, and adherence to the guidelines. Approval typically takes 2–5 business days.
4
Published as experiential — never as fact
If approved, your note appears in the What Families Say column with a User · Verified contributor badge. It is always visually distinct from official government data. A reader can never mistake it for an official measurement.
Zero student PII
Do not include any student's name, grade, disability diagnosis, disciplinary record, or any information that could identify a specific child. Notes containing student PII will be rejected and permanently deleted.
Anti-brigading
Honest Report monitors for coordinated submission patterns. Unusually high note volume from a single source, IP cluster, or time window is flagged for human review. We reserve the right to reject submissions that appear coordinated regardless of individual note quality.
