During a designated school week in the fall and spring of each year, the Gallup Student Poll will go live via a secure Web site. Students in grades 5 through 12 will complete the survey on a personal computer in a school classroom or computer lab. Completion of the Gallup Student Poll items (core 20 items, demographic items, and one randomly assigned index item) will take students approximately 10 minutes. Consent/assent issues need to be resolved prior to the polling week.
All data will be stored, aggregated, and analyzed (typically at the school and district levels) by Gallup software and professionals. Gallup will share the results with principals and superintendents via an online scorecard on a national reporting day.
District and school administrators will register an account through the Gallup Student Poll Web site by providing the school's National District ID and/or National School ID numbers, as well as general school information. Even if a district as a whole is not participating, individual schools from that district can register and participate.
The survey can be accessed through the Gallup Student Poll Web site immediately after the account has been registered and a field period is chosen.
