Understanding the Data

Not all students took the survey, so the results may not reflect everyone’s experiences. This is also data only from one point in time and could look different if students were asked again now. It should be used alongside other information to better understand what students are experiencing 


Student experiences may be shaped by many factors, including school and community conditions, racism, classism, ableism, heterosexism, and gender-based discrimination. When interpreting the data, we encourage users to consider the broader systems and environments that shape health and well-being. Learn more about Understanding the Data.
