Thank you so much to all of the students and parents/caregivers who participated in our 2024 Valuing Voices: Identity Matters Student Survey.
We are happy to share that we received 47,153 valid survey responses, for an overall participation rate of 61% of students from kindergarten to Grade 12. This is an increase of nearly 15% compared to our 2019-2020 student survey.
The insights gathered from this survey will play a critical role in shaping our understanding of student identity and school climate in schools across the OCDSB.
Moving forward, our Research, Evaluation and Analytics Division will work to analyze this data and help school staff apply the information we have gathered to better support school safety, learning and student well-being.
District-level results of our school climate and identity-based data will be shared publicly in late 2024.
