Mental health by district

Students who felt depressed, sad or withdrawn on 10 or more of the past 30 days. 2024 compared with 2023. Fair ●●○

Select a column heading to sort. Blank means the publisher did not report that area; "suppressed" means the publisher withheld a small number; "not shown" means this site withheld it (fewer than 30 survey respondents).

The county column comes from the district-to-county table, for reading county measures alongside district ones. State charter schools and other statewide units have no single county.

Source: Georgia Student Health Survey, state and district workbooks (item: "In the past 30 days, on how many days have you felt depressed, sad or withdrawn?"). Share of survey respondents in grades 6 to 12 choosing 10 to 19 days, 20 to 29 days, or all 30 days. Voluntary survey; participation varies. Districts where fewer than 30 students answered are left blank, because a handful of answers would not represent the district. The threshold of 10 days is this site's choice; the full response distribution is in the download.
