The Georgia Student Health Survey (GSHS) is an anonymous, statewide survey that offers a primary source of student data on topics related to school safety and well-being. The survey is required for all GA Public Schools and is used to calculate School Climate Star Ratings.

Georgia Student Health Survey (3rd-5th Grade)

To help improve our schools and those across the state, Gwinnett County Public Schools students in grades 3-12 will
participate in the Georgia Student Health Survey. The GSHS is an anonymous and statewide survey instrument that
covers topics such as school climate and safety, peer, and adult social support, bullying, mental health, substance abuse, and suicidal ideation.

The Student Survey will be open for students in grades 3-12 via the GCPS Student Portal from November 6 – December 15, 2023.

Parents may complete the opt-out process if they do not wish their student(s) to participate in the survey. Parents may
use the Parent Portal to complete this process, or they may send a written request to the schools to opt their student(s)
out of this survey. Please note that any parent/guardian wishing to opt his/her student out of the survey should
complete the online form or inform the school in writing at least 72 business hours before the school has scheduled the
administration of the survey to ensure that the student does not participate. Please complete this by Wednesday, November 1st.
