Physical activity includes time spent in any kind of activity that

increases heart rate and causes heavy breathing some of the
time. Studies have shown that physical activity is positively
associated with improved test scores and grades (1). Screen
time includes time spent watching TV, playing video games, or
time on the computer for non-school related use. The CDC
recommends at least 60 minutes of physical activity daily and
no more than 2 hours of screen time per day.

% of Students

Fruit and vegetable consumption add micronutrients and fiber

to the diet while contributing relatively minimal calories.
Students with low nutrient intake are more likely to be absent,
experience behavioral issues and receive lower grades (2).
Regular soda consumption is not recommended since it adds
calories without any nutritional value. The CDC recommends
all schools to have nutrition education as part of a
comprehensive health education curriculum.

Healthy Kids Colorado Survey 2013 Snapshot Report: Summit Middle School

Your school's data is available to your school and district and will not be further released without
your permission. For additional data requests, please contact us. Additional regional and state
data including school engagement, commitment and connection is available at
www.hkcs2013.org. The next HKCS administration will be Fall 2015. If you would like to
participate for free, please contact us!

Who was surveyed?

What is HKCS?
The Healthy Kids Colorado Survey (HKCS) periodically
collects self-reported health information from Colorado
public school students. A unified version was launched in
2013 that consolidates multiple needs for youth health
data and allows for both state and regional-level
estimates. The unified HKCS was administered in Fall
2013 to approximately 40,000 randomly-selected
students from approximately 220 middle and high
schools. HKCS is supported by Colorado Department of
Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), Colorado
Department of Education (CDE), and Colorado
Department of Human Services (CDHS). The University
of Colorado Denver is the official vendor for HKCS.

Classrooms were randomly sampled from your school

and students in those classes were asked to complete
the survey. Data were weighted to represent all students
in the grades surveyed. Under- or over- representation of
some demographic groups may affect interpretation of
total results presented in this Snapshot.
