APPENDIX

SHARING YOUR GALLUP STUDENT POLL RESULTS Gallup encourages you to share your Gallup Student Poll results with your local community and key stakeholders. Below are someguidelines for the public release of school, district, and the overall convenience sample data and results.

¡ You may share the Gallup Student Poll participation results for your school and/or district. The total number ofrespondents from your school or district is represented by the well-being n size on the scorecard. Your school or districtparticipation rate is based upon the total number of eligible students in your school. Students in grades 5 through 12 areeligible to participate in the Gallup Student Poll.

¡ Please include the Gallup Student Poll methodology and limitations of polling. If most eligible students in grades 5through 12 were polled, the district (or school) may indicate that the data represents a census.

¡ Please do not compare your school or district's data to the overall line of data on your scorecard when publicly sharingresults. Since the overall data found in your school or district report is an aggregate of a convenience sample of allschools and districts that opted to participate in the Gallup Student Poll within that survey year, the data are notrepresentative of the U.S. population of students in grades 5 through 12 and are thereby not fit for data comparisons.

¡ Communicate ranges in data across schools within the district.

¡ You may share district or school plans to utilize the data to inform strategies and focus.

If you would like more information on how to publicly share Gallup Student Poll data, please email Gallup [email protected].

GALLUP STUDENT POLL METHODOLOGY The annual Gallup Student Poll is offered at no cost to public schools and districts in the United States. The online poll iscompleted by a convenience sample of schools and districts each fall. Schools participating in the annual Gallup Student Poll arenot randomly selected and are neither charged nor given any incentives beyond receipt of school-specific data. Participation ratesvary by school. The poll is conducted during a designated survey period and available during school hours Tuesday through Fridayonly. The Gallup Student Poll is administered to students in grades 5 through 12. The primary application of the Gallup StudentPoll is as a measure of non-cognitive metrics that predicts student success in academic and other youth development settings. The overall data from the annual administration of the Gallup Student Poll may not reflect responses from a nationallyrepresentative sample of students, and the overall data are not statistically weighted to reflect the U.S. student population; thereby,overall data and scorecards should be used cautiously by local schools and districts as a data comparison. School and district dataand scorecards provide meaningful data for local comparisons and may inform strategic initiatives and programming, though theresults are not generalizable beyond the universe of the participating school or district.
