We All Belong Student Survey

2022-23 Student Survey Results

From November 2022 to January 2023, the Upper Canada District School Board collected data from elementary and secondary students around language spoken at home, race, cultural identity, gender identity to socio-economic status and experiences at school, with the purpose to ensure that the voices of our students are included as we plan meaningful next steps to make our schools better for all students.

The We All Belong Student Survey garnered a 30 per cent response rate, with that number increasing to 56 per cent at the secondary level.

The Intermediate Student Voice survey had a 61 per cent response rate. These response rates are consistent with response rates in other school districts across the province.

  • 7 per cent of students identify as Indigenous;
  • 14 per cent identify as a person with a disability;
  • 59 per cent of students want to learn more about Real-World Learning;
