School Health Index
The School Health Index (SHI): Self-Assessment & Planning Guide is a self-assessment and planning tool that schools can use to improve their health and safety policies and programs. It's easy to use and completely confidential.
The SHI was developed by CDC in partnership with school administrators and staff, school health experts, parents, and national nongovernmental health and education agencies to
- Enable schools to identify strengths and weaknesses of health and safety policies and programs
- Enable schools to develop an action plan for improving student health, which can be incorporated into the School Improvement Plan
- Engage teachers, parents, students, and the community in promoting health-enhancing behaviors and better health
New users: Access to the SHI requires a CDC system-generated Reference Number. New users should complete information required to register a new team, after which you will receive your Reference Number by automated e-mail response.
Current users: Access your team SHI assessment using your assigned Reference Number. Upon entering your SHI, you should update your team information to ensure access to your Reference Number in the future, should it be lost or misplaced during personnel transitions. To update this information, go to the “My SHI Options” tab located on your SHI home page, scroll down, and open “Edit Team Information.”
