About

This indicator is the percentage of students in grades 6 to 12 who have a life satisfaction score of 6-10 on a scale of 0 to 10, where 10 represents the best possible life.

Source

New Brunswick Health Council, Student Wellness and Education Survey, Grades 6-12

Calculations

This indicator is calculated by dividing the number of respondents who answered "6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 best possible life" by the number of respondents who answered "0 worst possible life, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 best possible life" to the question: The top of the ladder (10) is the best possible life for you and the bottom (0) is the worst possible life for you. In general, where on the ladder do you feel you stand at the moment?
