Case Studies

Davis School District

Y² Analytics has partnered with Davis School District to answer a number of vital research questions since our relationship began in 2015. In 2022, we helped Davis School District staff navigate each phase of their successful $475 million bond proposal. This project included two sets of focus groups and an online survey of likely voters in the spring, recommendations to the School Board, regular consulting on strategy, a brief brushfire poll in late September, and eventual ballot success. In 2019, Y² Analytics conducted a survey among District patrons to aid the District in updating its high school enrollment boundaries. Additionally, we have conducted several representative public opinion surveys in the Davis School District, discovering the top concerns, communication preferences, and satisfaction with the District among parents & guardians. These research initiatives have informed long-term planning initiatives, and have helped the District engage with patrons in order to serve them better.
