Exceptional Student Education Parent Survey
Exceptional Student Education Parent Survey
Each year, the Florida Department of Education (FDOE) conducts a survey designed to provide FDOE and the United States Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP), with information on how well Florida’s schools are partnering with parents and promoting parent involvement in their child's education. The survey is open to all parents of children with an individual educational plan (IEP) receiving ESE services from preschool age through grade 12 and is not intended for parents of students receiving only gifted services through an educational plan (EP). All states must collect this data as part of their State Performance Plan, as required under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
Parent Survey Response Rate Dashboard
FDOE, Bureau of Exceptional Education and Student Services (BEESS) announces the launch of a public, comprehensive dashboard showcasing data from the 2023-2024 Exceptional Student Education (ESE) Parent Survey. This interactive platform features three distinct components: 2023-2024 K-12 ESE Parent Survey results, 2023-2024 Pre-Kindergarten ESE Parent Survey results, and a page for real-time tracking of parent participation for the 2024-2025 survey. This tool enhances transparency and facilitates data-driven decision-making in exceptional student education. To access this public-facing dashboard, please visit Response Rate Dashboard for Indicator 8: Parental Involvement.
2024-25 ESE Parent Survey
The 2024-25 ESE Parent Survey is open beginning February 2025, and will close on June 30, 2025. The survey can be completed on the web or mobile phone by visiting 2024-25 ESE Parent Survey.

Survey results are reported to OSEP as part of Florida’s Annual Performance Report State Performance Plan/Annual Performance Report (SPP/APR). Information about response rate and “met standard” for each district can be found in the local educational agency (LEA) profiles.
