School Climate Surveys 2017-2018

!!!!!IMPORTANT: School Climate Surveys 2017-2018!!!!!

 

Please note that the school climate surveys for the 2017-2018 school year will officially open on Monday, October 2, 2017, and will remain open through Friday, March 2, 2018

 
Links to the school climate surveys are posted below. Please note that you will not be able to use the same survey links that you used last year because the links have changed.   

Federal law requires that the student survey be made available for review by all interested parties; therefore, copies of the student survey may be reproduced and made available to parents or other parties upon request. Also, parents/guardians should know about the student survey and are given the option to opt out if so desired. Student survey results, copies of the student survey questions, and parent permission forms are available on the Georgia Department of Education webpage at http://www.gadoe.org/Curriculum-Instruction-and-Assessment/Curriculum-and-Instruction/GSHS-II/Pages/Georgia-Student-Health-Survey-II.aspx.   

Each school must have a 75% participation rate on the Georgia Student Health Survey 2.0 and the Georgia School Personnel Survey. Failure to meet the 75% participation rate on these two surveys will result in a 0.00 score; thereby, significantly reducing a school’s School Climate Star Rating. Although there is no mandatory participation rate for the Georgia Parent Survey, schools that have no participation in the survey will receive a 0.00 score. Schools with less than 15 parent surveys will be designated as Low Participation (LP) and the results will not be calculated. Either way, no parent or low parent participation will negatively impact a school’s School Climate Star Rating. 

Georgia Student Health Survey 2.0 
There are two versions of the Georgia Student Health Survey (GSHS) 2.0. The first version is for middle and high school students (grades 6 – 12), and the second version is a shorter survey for elementary students (grades 3-5). At least 75% of students at each grade level (3-12) must participate in the GSHS 2.0 to be eligible for the School Climate Star Rating. Please make plans for your elementary, middle and high school students to participate in the GSHS 2.0. Survey responses are anonymous and will be submitted directly to the Georgia Department of Education for analysis. The GSHS 2.0 is also available in Spanish. Students may select the Spanish version within the survey. Parent, school personnel and  middle school survey links are posted below.
