About

This indicator is the percentage of students in grades 6 to 12 who reported feeling they do things well at school.

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 "really true for me" by the number of respondents who answered "really false for me, sort of false for me, sort of true for me or really true for me" to the question: We are interested in how you feel about yourself and how you think other people see you: a) I feel I do things well at school.
