Data from the 5Essentials survey may have been collected in previous years. We provide information on trends to provide some context for schools, groups, and districts.

The trend data is calculated year by year. This means that, when students or teachers leave a school, their value for the previous year is still included in the trend. The trends provide a picture of what the school looks like in each year, without considering changes in population.
