The California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS) is a powerful tool for use in grades 4-12 that can help schools and districts accurately identify areas of student and school strengths and weaknesses, and address related needs. It provides the district with a comprehensive, data-driven, decision-making process to guide efforts to improve school climate, learning supports, and engagement, as well as identify and increase the quality of health, prevention, and youth development programs.
