Results Released for 2006 Student Life Survey in Lower Merion/Narberth

April 10, 2007 -- More than 135 representatives from schools, community organizations, faith communities, counseling centers, and local and state government attended the public celebration of results of the 2006 Student Life Survey today in Bryn Mawr, Pa.

Members of The Coalition for Youth of Lower Merion and Narberth Steering Committee (formerly known as Lower Merion-Narberth Community Coalition) presented the results in a Student Support Card (see below). The survey showed that that the average number of assets possessed by our youth has increased from 19.5 to 21.5 (out of 40) from the first survey, conducted in 2000, and the most recent survey, conducted in fall of 2006.

More than 5,100 students participated from the following schools: Lower Merion High School, Harriton High School, Welsh Valley Middle School, Bala Cynwyd Middle School, The Agnes Irwin School, The Baldwin School, The Episcopal Academy, Friends' Central School, The Haverford School, and The Shipley School.

The results give reasons to celebrate our youth and the support provided to them by our parents, schools, and community. The results also give reasons to stay connected with our youth.

The following documents (all in Adobe Acrobat/PDF format) were shared at the presentation.
