Georgia Parent Survey
The Georgia Student Health Survey is an anonymous, statewide survey instrument that identifies school climate issues that impact student achievement. In order to provide a safe and supportive learning environment for your child, the Georgia Department of Education collects survey information from students during the school year. The survey takes approximately 20 minutes to complete and covers various topics such as school climate and safety, alcohol and drug use and mental health.
We are also asking that parents complete the Georgia Parent Survey. The Georgia Parent Survey was developed to measure parent perceptions of school climate at your child’s school. Your survey responses are confidential and will be combined with the survey responses of other parents at your child’s school to identify areas in need of improvement. It should only take ten or fifteen minutes to complete the survey. Please complete this survey by Friday, March 10, 2023.

As always, we appreciate your support.
