In AppreciationWe are indebted to the students, parents, teachers, Minnesota Student Surveycoordinators, principals and superintendents across the state that agreed toparticipate in and supported the student survey when it was administered in thefirst half of 2016. These data are made available as a result of their interest andtime, and we are grateful for their efforts.We are also indebted to the many state agency staff, especially the analysts withthe Minnesota Center for Health Statistics at the Minnesota Department ofHealth, for their tireless work on making these data available.ii
2016 MINNESOTA STUDENT SURVEYSurvey ParticipationThe 2016 Minnesota Student Survey (MSS) was administered in the first half of2016 to students in grades 5, 8, 9, and 11 statewide. Of the 330 public operatingdistricts, 282 agreed to participate (84% of public operating school districts).Public school student participation was voluntary and surveys were anonymous.Across the state, approximately 66% of fifth graders, 73% of eighth graders, 71%of ninth graders, and 61% of eleventh graders participated in the 2016 MinnesotaStudent Survey. Overall participation across the four grades was approximately68% of total enrollment.All schools and districts that participated in the survey followed federal lawsregarding parental notification as required by the Protection of Pupil RightsAmendment (PPRA). PPRA requires that schools that participate in the surveynotify parents of the survey administration, provide parents the opportunity toreview the survey instrument, and allow parents to opt their child out ofparticipating.Mode of AdministrationIn 2016, all students in grades 5 and 8 completed the survey online. Schoolswith grade 9 and/or grade 11 students could choose to administer the surveyonline or with the traditional paper survey. Methods could not be mixed within asingle school. The survey questions online were the same as those in the papersurvey booklets.Items on the TablesThe accompanying set of tables includes the responses for all survey items.Items are ordered within the tables according to meaningful domains; the orderitems appear on the tables is not necessarily the order they appeared in thesurvey. A table of contents is provided on pages v-vi. The grade 5 survey versionwas shorter than the grade 8 survey version, which in turn was shorter than thegrade 9/11 version. The grade 5 and grade 8 versions did not include itemsappropriate only for older students. Items found on some versions of the surveybut not on others are identified on the tables.iii
New Questions and Year-to-Year ComparisonsSome of the 2016 survey instrument questions were changed from the 2013survey instrument. While most questions stayed the same, other questions wereupdated with changes to the question or response options. Some entirely newquestions were added, and some questions were dropped. New questions arenoted on each table. Caution must be used when making comparisons over timefor any questions in which the wording has changed.Please note that although these surveys are given repeatedly over time, studentpopulations may change between administrations of the survey.Validity of ResponsesCaution was taken to identify invalid responses and remove them from theanalysis. Surveys were eliminated when responses were highly inconsistent orthere was a pattern of likely exaggeration. The exact percentage of surveysremoved will be available in September 2016.iv
