SEED Survey
About the SEED Survey
The Student Educational Equity Development Survey or SEED survey helps the Oregon Department of Education gather information about the educational experiences of students. The information helps ODE develop appropriate resources and supports for school districts, and better target those resources and supports where they are needed most.
Each year, students in grades 3-11 are asked to take the short 10-15 minute survey. During the 2023-24 school year, the survey will be administered after May 24, 2024.
The survey asks students:
- About the kinds of activities they did in school this year;
- What supplies they had to help with schoolwork; and
- How they felt about school and learning this year.
Additional helpful information:
- Parents can contact their student's school if they wish for their child not to participate or complete an opt-out form; and
- Students can skip questions within the survey if they do not want to or cannot respond for any reason.
YouthTruth Survey
About YouthTruth Survey
YouthTruth is based on the premise that when you get timely feedback from those you’re trying to serve, and really listen to that feedback to make changes, you get better. The data and information we receive is used to inform decisions we make to support our community.
Each year, students, families and staff members participate in the YouthTruth survey to provide feedback to the Grants Pass School District on: academic challenge, school safety, college and career readiness, student engagement, school culture, belonging and peer collaboration, and social-emotional learning.
Additional helpful information:
- Parents can contact their student's school if they wish for their child not to participate or complete an opt-out form; and

Student Health Survey
About Oregon's Student Health Survey
Oregon's Student Health Survey (SHS) is a collaborative effort with the Oregon Department of Education to improve the health and well-being of all Oregon students to help them succeed. The SHS is a comprehensive, school-based, anonymous and voluntary health survey of 6th, 8th and 11th graders conducted yearly. It is a key part of statewide efforts to help local schools and communities ensure that all Oregon youth are healthy and successful learners.
HB 2656 requires that school districts offer the survey to our students. Parents and students have the right to opt out of the survey. Please return the opt out form if you do not want your student to participate.
