School Climate Survey Results 2022-23

DELMAR — More than 3,200 people participated in Bethlehem Central’s 2022-23 School Climate Survey, including 2,252 students in grades 5-12 from the district’s seven schools, all of which administrators released last week.

The 72-question survey included responses about school safety, facilities, peer relations, social and emotional support, alcohol and drug use, and school discipline. The 2022-23 survey was open from January 9-20.

“Despite the pandemic, our results over the last several years have been largely consistent and mostly positive. The survey data continue to reflect a student population that has a strong rapport with BC teachers and staff, with students saying they feel safe, supported and engaged at school,” said Superintendent Jody Monroe. “While this information points to the quality of staff we have here at BC and the resiliency of students in general, we are keenly aware of the importance of looking closely at data points or trends within the survey by grade level and demographic subgroups. That is what our administrative team will be working on.”

In addition to the student survey, parents and staff — both instructional and support staff — answered similar surveys during the two-week period in January.
