National School Climate Surveys
Glisten’s School Climate Survey asks LGBTQ+ youth across the country to share their experiences in schools and learning environments.
Between middle and high school, the average student spends roughly 7,000 hours in a classroom, and Glisten believes it’s vital that youth feel seen and heard by the system educating them. Let your voice be heard by participating in our School Climate Survey and help make schools better for everyone!
SAVE THE DATE: Glisten is releasing its latest National School Climate Survey 2025 findings on March 31!

2021 National School Climate Survey
Because this data is from the 2020-2021 academic year, when schools had to respond to the COVID pandemic, we also discuss key differences between the experiences of LGBTQ+ students in online only, in-person only, and hybrid learning environments.

2016 Puerto Rico School Climate Survey
The Puerto Rico School Climate Survey provides the first comprehensive data on the school experiences of LGBTQ youth in Puerto Rico. Similar to our National School Climate Survey (NSCS) and its accompanying State Snapshots, this report documents the unique challenges LGBTQ students face and identifies interventions that can improve school climate.
