Data Validity

that measure what the question is intended to measure.
Data Cleaning Procedures, that remove respondents with:
•
•
•
•
•
Inconsistent answers
High level of substance use (all substances, every day)
Dishonest
Wrong grade
Fake drug question
• Consistent removal since 2002 of 3% - 4%
of the surveys

Using HYS Data
“While it is perception data, we value any information and insight
regarding how our students feel at school. We know from research
that those feelings impact their daily ability to fully focus on and
engage in learning. At Olympia High School, we’ve developed a new
mentor program and increased support for new student transition
and other activities in response to the survey. That’s created a more
inclusive school environment.”
- Andra Kelley-Batstone, Olympia high school counselor
