In partnership with Communities For Youth, the Department of Education is working with school districts to help administer the Idaho Youth Well-Being Assessment to students in grades 6-12. The Idaho Youth Well-Being Assessment provides schools relevant, timely, actionable information for school leaders to make confident, data-driven decisions to support our students. Assessing student well-being helps schools measure success over time. Student well-being also contributes to academic outcomes such as attendance, grades, & graduation.
