The Ahart Index

Since 2019, Ahart Solutions has surveyed over 50,000 staff members, parents, and students, building a data warehouse of over 1.5 million responses from K–12 stakeholders. The Ahart Staff, Parent, and Student Indexes provide essential context for your results, leveraging extensive comparison data to ensure an accurate understanding of school culture. Each Index includes 30 items across six domains aligned with key performance indicators (KPIs), delivering trustworthy insights through a 5-day survey window, live dashboard, and a 2-week project timeline—much like an annual medical checkup for your school. 

 Ahart offers an efficient alternative to focus groups through our AI-Moderated Asynchronous Interviews, a platform unique in the educational research space. Our AI-driven bot replicates the experience of a human interview, transforming traditional open-ended surveys into interactive interviews that capture deeper insights. By reimagining the standard focus group, often costly and time-consuming, Ahart scales qualitative data collection to gather extensive insights quickly and efficiently in a user-friendly—and even enjoyable—format. Simple, quick, and intuitive, we gather invaluable feedback in just two minutes. 

 Building on our Index and AI-moderated interviews, Ahart deploys a research team to conduct individual and group interviews, capturing nuanced, contextual qualitative data. Our team of eight consultants, each with doctoral or master’s degrees, brings extensive experience across diverse educational roles, including principals, superintendents, and professors, providing deep insight into school dynamics. Leveraging powerful qualitative analysis tools, we efficiently uncover consequential insights—nuggets of truth that emerge only through human connection.
