The 2017 National School Climate Survey

The experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer youth in our nation’s schools

The full GLSEN 2017 National School Climate Survey report includes information on the experiences of LGBTQ middle and high school students, including: hearing biased language; harassment and assault; discrimination; effects of a hostile school climate on educational outcomes and psychological well-being; and the availability and utility of supportive school resources. This report examines demographic and school differences in student experiences and changes in school climate over time. For the first time, this GLSEN National School Climate Survey includes insights on LGBTQ-inclusive sex education, student activism, parent advocacy, experiences of LGBTQ students with disabilities and experiences of LGBTQ immigrant students.
