Results Are In! Meet the Readers of Advancing K12

#Culture Read time:
Thank you so much to the folks who filled out the Advancing K12 survey, sharing some insight into the subscribers and readers we work for.

Here are some key data points.
 

Who are you?

Oh tell me, who are you? (More on this generational representation later on 🤘🏼.) A huge range of roles showed up in this survey—yes, even students! No one skipped this question, but notable responses in the “other” category included HR coordinators, transportation pros, custodians, and more.

District level:
Administrators, CTOs, CFOs, business office, principals: 16% 

School level:
Teachers, support staff, IT staff, administrative assistants: 40%

Home:
Parents: 35%
Other (including students!): 8.8%

 

How big are your districts?

It looks as though 5,000 students and under is the “enrollment sweet spot” for Advancing K12 subscribers. Some large districts are represented, and small districts showed up as well, leading to a large range of population. No one skipped this question.

25,000+: 10%
10,000–25,000: 8.8%
5,000–10,000: 13.6%
1,000–5,000: 38.8%
Under 1,000: 28.6%

Which generations are represented?

Age is nothing but a number—we want to know what the vibes were like during your journey here on Earth. Each generation has something that makes them special, and all of them blend to form terrific teams. Here’s how things break down for Advancing K12 subscribers. Three of you skipped this question, so we’re going to assume you’re Gen X—the OG rebels.

Post war (1928–1945): 1
Baby boomers (1946–1964): 43
Gen X (1965–1980): 52
Millennials (1981–1996): 27
Gen Z (1997-2012): 21
