School Climate

Access 2017 Alaska Statewide SCCS Results Here: Alaska Statewide Link

Thousands of Alaska students and staff take the School Climate and Connectedness Survey (SCCS) each year to transform school climate & strengthen relationships, factors linked to academic outcomes.

SCCS is a statewide survey developed by the American Institutes for Research (AIR) in partnership with AASB in 2006. All Alaska school districts are invited to take the survey each spring.

Through student and staff perceptions, it measures:

  • Positive School Climate
  • How connected students feel to adults & peers
  • Social and emotional learning
  • Observed risk behaviors at school or school events
