This is an overview page for the factors assessed. To see the results click the name of the scale. All factors are assessed on the scale of 0-10, except for Truancy. More information about this scale can be found on its results page.

When two test months are completed the values in front of scale names change to show the change in scale scores from the second to last month tested to the last one. The value is red if the change is negative and green if the change is positive for all scales except Depression, Anxiety, Bullying and Truancy. For these four scales positive values are red and negative ones are green because for these scales it is better to see lower values. This way all green values stand for improvement between months but red for deterioration.

* If the school average for the latest test month is significantly above or below the national average, with 90% confidence, the difference is displayed behind the name of the scale in blue letters within brackets (+/- X,XX). No blue letters indicates that the latest month average for the school is not significantly different from the national average. Information about significance also appear in the scale graphs, if the school average for a month is significantly different from the national average that month value will have an asterix next to it.

The aim of these questions is to get anonymous honest feedback from the students about particular aspects of the school. Questions are changed by writing a new text below and clicking Save Questions. When 80% of students in a test month have answered the survey results for open questions are displayed in bullet points on the page View Open Answers.

Upload Student List

An Excel file containing information about students in the school in grades 6.-10. are uploaded on this page once every year. The following information need to be included in the file:

The list is uploaded at the beginning of the school year or when the school joins, after parents have been notified and have had a chance to decline participation for their child. The list is used to generate monthly student samples. The contact at the school will receive the list with participation codes. Be sure to add information about gender, by adding 1 for female and 2 for male (see figure below). When the list is ready the file needs to be saved in Excel 97-03 format.

Columns need to have the same order as shown in the figure. If they are not the system will not accept the file and will display an error message. When the error is corrected the file can be uploaded again. Once the system has accepted the file the upload function will close.
