Field #10: School Climate


School Climate:
Student responses from the SALT Survey


This indicator is based on student and teacher responses to the SALT Survey; the graphs show responses to several of the questions that contributed to the School Climate Indicator. The graphs show both the response from the individual school and the statewide average by school level (elementary, middle, or high school). The graphs also show the responses on the most recent SALT Survey (2002) and the previous survey (2000).

The School Climate Indicator concerns such aspects of school life as school safety, expectations that students have for themselves and that teachers have for their students, and respectful relationships between teachers and students. This indicator also denotes whether student behavior is disruptive, whether teachers are invested in the success of their students, and whether students know that they can approach someone in their school to discuss both academic and personal problems.
