Connectedness & Wellbeing

Students are more likely to show up and stay engaged when they feel connected to their school community. This section helps families understand whether students have access to activities, arts, health supports, and safe learning environments that help them feel included and motivated to come to school each day. Together, these measures highlight the conditions that support strong attendance, sustained participation, and overall wellbeing.

This section focuses on connection, participation, and school climate — not academic support inside the classroom, which appears in the Inclusive and Supportive Learning section.

How the Pieces Fit Together

  • Attendance shows whether students are regularly coming to school.
  • Dropout rates show whether students remain enrolled through the year.
  • Clubs, activities, and arts programs help students feel they belong.
  • Health and wellness supports address barriers to learning.
  • Behavior and discipline data shows how often serious incidents lead to exclusion from school.

Together, these pieces show whether students feel part of a safe, healthy, and engaging school community.
