Student and parent satisfaction tracking for educational institutions
At schools and educational institutions, satisfaction builds up over the term and directly affects re-enrollment decisions. Parent communication, school bus transportation, the cafeteria and administrative processes matter as much as the quality of teaching. Comvo collects feedback from students and parents by campus and unit and routes issues to the relevant unit.
Key challenges in the industry
-
Re-enrollment
Dissatisfaction often surfaces during the re-enrollment period.
-
Support services
Services such as school buses, the cafeteria and cleaning are the responsibility of separate teams.
-
Parent communication
How well parents are kept informed determines satisfaction.
-
Multi-campus structure
Service standards vary between campuses.
Touchpoints to measure
You can create a separate survey for each touchpoint. You decide the questions, scales and question types (star, score, recommendation, choice, open-ended comment) and deliver them at the right moment by QR code, SMS or email.
- Enrollment and initial meeting
- Classes and teachers
- Parent updates
- School bus (transportation)
- Cafeteria
- Administrative services
Sample survey
Parents answer the survey on their phone without installing an app. Each question opens on its own screen, and a follow-up question about the reason appears automatically after a low score. You can define all questions and steps as you wish and customize the design to match your corporate identity.
- 1-5 (CSAT)Customer satisfaction (CSAT), 1-5: 1 is the lowest and 5 the highest satisfaction.
- 1-51-5 rating scale; a low score indicates a negative experience and can become a case depending on your rules.
- 1-51-5 rating scale; a low score indicates a negative experience and can become a case depending on your rules.
- 0-10 (NPS)Net Promoter Score (NPS), 0-10: 9-10 promoters, 7-8 passives, 0-6 detractors. The score is calculated by subtracting the share of detractors from the share of promoters.
- Yes / Partially / NoSingle-choice question; the selected answer can be used as a condition in rules.
Questions, scales and conditional logic are tailored to your institution. Responses in the preview are not sent anywhere.
How Does It Work?
- 1 Personal surveys are sent to parents in the middle and at the end of the term.
- 2 Instant feedback is also collected through QR codes in campus areas.
- 3 A negative response is assigned as a case to the head of the relevant unit.
- 4 The parent is contacted and the action taken is recorded.
- 5 Campuses and units are compared with the same criteria.
Sample alert rules
- For parents with an NPS of 6 or lower, a case is opened for the campus principal with a resolution time of 3 business days.
- If the school bus score is 2 or lower, a case is assigned to the transportation coordinator with a 24-hour resolution time.
- If the safety question in the student survey is answered "No", the case is sent to the school administration with critical priority.
In these examples, a low score means 2 or below on a 1-5 scale, 6 or below on the 0-10 recommendation score and 1-3 stars in online reviews. You set the thresholds and resolution times.

-
Satisfaction by unit
You measure school bus, cafeteria and administrative services separately.
-
Adequacy of information
You see the quality of parent communication.
-
Re-enrollment risk
You measure the follow-up rate for parents who gave low scores.

Frequently asked questions
Can students and parents be measured separately?
Yes. Separate surveys are defined for students and parents, and results are reported separately.
Can anonymous surveys be run?
Yes. QR surveys are anonymous, and an anonymous response option can also be offered in personal invitations.
How is the parent list imported?
The parent list is uploaded with Excel or CSV; a contact frequency limit prevents the same parent from receiving surveys too often.
