The public may now access results from the Project Cornerstone survey administered to Palo Alto Unified School District students this past fall.
Project Cornerstone administered the surveys to PAUSD fifth graders, seventh graders, and all high school students.
The results include percentages based on the number of students who answered favorably to certain criteria that are labelled “assets” by the survey. Project Cornerstone defines the assets as “the experiences, values, relationships and opportunities that all children and youth need to thrive,” according to executive director Anne Ehresman.
Assets are classified into categories. The fewer assests a student has, the more vulnerable he or she is to risk-taking behavior according to the survey’s creators. Students are considered “highly vulnerable” if they have zero to 10 assets, “vulnerable” if they have 11-20 assets, “adequate” if they have 21-30 assets, and thriving if they have 31-40 assets. As of now, 47% of all PAUSD high school students fall into the “vulnerable” or “highly vulnerable” categories, and 10% fall into the “thriving” category according to Ehresman.
