Conditions for Learning Team

Earlier this month results were released for this year’s School Climate and Connectedness Survey. This year 31 districts administered the statewide survey to transform school climate and strengthen relationships, factors that are linked to student success. You can access the full statewide results HERE.

The majority of students and staff reported positive relationships.

• 72% of students reported that teachers treat them with respect 
• 83% of staff reported that adults in the school treat students with respect. 
• 62% of students and 67% of staff reported students having at least one adult whom they feel comfortable talking to about things that are bothering them.

The majority of students and staff reported students being involved in school improvement.

• 63% of students and 66% of staff reported that students are provided with meaningful opportunities to develop leadership skills.
• 55% of students and 57% of staff reported being given a chance to help make decisions.

Each school district has a unique link to look at results. Here you can see student, staff, and family perceptions side-by-side, results over time, comparisons for each school to state and district, and how students responded by sub-groups such as grade level, gender, race/ethnicity, and attendance, and opportunities for strength and growth across topics.

Please do not hesitate to contact the School Climate Team with questions about the survey and to figure out how your district can make the most of your school climate data.
