NYSDOH Student Weight Status Category Reporting (SWSCR)
The 2026 – 2027 BMI/Student Weight Status Category & Health Conditions Reporting Surveys will be available on the Health Commerce System under the “Survey Management and Response Tool” (SMART) application on the Health Commerce System portal starting sometime in November of 2026.
The BMI/Student Weight Status Category & Health Conditions Reporting Surveys are completed at the District Level (and NOT the individual School Building) and should be entered only by the person in the “School District Nurse” role on the Health Commerce System.
Data submission for the 2026 – 2027 BMI/Student Weight Status Category & Health Conditions surveys will be due on Friday January 29, 2027.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Use data from last school year's (2025 - 2026) student health exam form when reporting data.

Student Weight Status Data
Beginning in 2010, all data reported through the Student Weight Status Category Reporting System has been released by Health Data New York. Prior to 2010, data from SWSCR was released through the printable report and continue to be incorporated into reports released to the public. These reports are accessible through web links posted on this linked page.
The Student Weight Data Explorer
This dashboard reports data on overweight and obesity by school districts, counties, and regions of the state. It includes tools that provide comprehensive data on an individual school district or allow you to compare multiple districts, and multiple counties, and review statewide and regional trends. Schools can use this data to determine health, education, and fitness goals, and apply for grant funding.
