But what about factors like safety, drug and alcohol use, and even how students feel in the classroom?  <\/p>\n<p>Beginning this year, students in Tennessee can have their say about school climate by taking an online survey. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe school climate project is designed to really try and get a sense of the quality of the relationships that students have with one another as well as with their teachers and administrators,\u201d said Mike Herrmann,  Executive Director of the <a href=\"http:\/\/tennessee.gov\/education\/safe_schls\/index.shtml\">Office of Safe and Supportive Schools<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.safeschoolstn.org\/\">survey<\/a> includes questions about classroom engagement, safety, and school environment.  Students are asked if they agree with statements like \u201cMost of my teachers notice if I have trouble learning something,\u201d \u201cI feel like I am part of this school\u201d, and even are asked to list how many illegal substances they have consumed in the past month. <\/p>\n<p>Robbin Wall, Principal of McGavock High School in Metro Nashville Public Schools, was first in line to try the survey at his school.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe think we know what\u2019s going on but we need actual data that will actually let us know what we believe to be true is true.  Is our school really safe? Is our school really drug free?\u201d said Wall.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStudents a lot of time will be more honest on a computer than they will be talking to me face to face. \u2018Oh yeah Mr. Wall, that\u2019s great\u2019 and then they\u2019ll go on a computer and then I get a lot better picture of what\u2019s really going on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And what\u2019s really going on may be troubling. According to the National Education Association, an estimated <a href=\"http:\/\/www.makebeatsnotbeatdowns.org\/facts_new.html\">160,000 children miss school<\/a> every day due to fear of attack or intimidation by other students.  <\/p>\n<p>The<a href=\"http:\/\/www.tn.gov\/education\/\"> Tennessee Department of Education <\/a>hopes the survey will shed light on the appropriate resources to provide to schools.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we anticipate happening is that we begin to build a database, if you will, of effective strategies so that we can attach interventions and programs to specific problems that are identified,\u201d said Hermann.<\/p>\n<p>The information from the surveys will be available immediately to schools so they can address specific concerns and request additional resources as needed. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A school\u2019s success is often measured by academic performance, test scores, and attendance rates.
