Public Schools Selected To Complete The Survey for the 2024-2025 School Year

The Student Weight Status Category Reporting System (SWSCR) collects weight status category data (underweight, healthy weight, overweight or obese, based on BMI-for-age percentile) on children and adolescents attending public school in New York State, outside New York City. Each year, 50% of all public schools are surveyed.

BOCES, Charter, Private, and 4201 designated schools are not required to report WSC data.

NYC schools are also exempt from state education law requiring this data to be reported to the NYS Department of Health. The NYC Department of Education monitors student weight status using NYC FITNESSGRAM.
