HYS Administration
Statewide support for HYS
Schools, ESDs, Local Health , Community Partners
&Looking Glass Analytics
Common Concern
• How do we know kids are telling the truth?
• How do we know these data are believable?
Data Reliability
• Standardized administration procedures • Importance of survey• No names• Only student sees their answers• Administration period of one week, same time
during the day• Students resource list
Data Validity
HYS uses questions from established surveys. Questions that measure what the question is intended to measure.
Data Cleaning Procedures, that remove respondents with:• Inconsistent answers• High level of substance use (all substances, every day)• Dishonest• Wrong grade• Fake drug question
• Consistent removal since 2002 of 3% - 4% of the surveys
Questions?
Levels of access
County, ESD and State results are available to everyone.
School district and school building HYS results are available only with the permission of the superintendents’ offices.

Using HYS Data
“While it is perception data, we value any information and insight regarding how our students feel at school. We know from research that those feelings impact their daily ability to fully focus on and engage in learning. At Olympia High School, we’ve developed a new mentor program and increased support for new student transition and other activities in response to the survey. That’s created a more inclusive school environment.”
- Andra Kelley-Batstone, Olympia high school counselor
