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: "I feel connected to others at school"). Share of survey respondents in grades 6 to 12 answering somewhat or strongly agree. The survey is voluntary and participation varies by year and district, so compare with care. Where fewer than 30 students in a district answered the item, that district's figure is left blank rather than shown, because a handful of answers would not represent the district. 2020-21 used the Student Wellness Survey, which omitted this item. From 2024-25 the state replaces the survey with the Georgia School Climate Survey.
