The Georgia Student Health Survey 2.0 is an anonymous, statewide survey instrument developed by many divisions within the GaDOE including the Assessment and Accountability Division and in collaboration with the Georgia Department of Public Health and Georgia State University.  GSHS 2.0 data results are used to develop a School Climate Star Rating which is used as a diagnostic tool within the College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI) to determine if a school is on the right path to school improvement.  

Based upon student, parent and staff responses, along with other data,  we will be assigned a star rating from 1-5.  The School Climate Star Rating is calculated using data from the Georgia Student Health Survey 2.0, Georgia School Personnel Survey, Georgia Parent Survey, student discipline data and attendance records for students, teachers, staff and administrators.  The School Climate Star Rating provides school-level data on the following components: 

1) School Climate – a measure of student, teacher, and parent perceptions of a school’s climate and the congruency between the three; 

2) Student Discipline – a look into disciplinary practices and utilization of the research-based practices promoting positive interventions; 

3) Safe and Substance-Free Learning Environment – student responses on use of illegal substances and the prevalence of violence, bullying, and unsafe incidents within a school; and 

4) Attendance – the average daily attendance of students, teachers, administrators, and staff members.  

Each of the components will be given equal value.

Your students will participate in a similar survey at school. The GSHS 2.0 for elementary students includes school safety and school climate questions only. Please notify your homeroom teacher if you do not want your child to participate in the survey.
