Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Statistics
Here’s how social-emotional learning impacts young people:
- Students who participate in SEL showed improved classroom behavior, reduced rates of stress and depression, and improved attitudes towards their school, their peers, and their own self-image. SEL programs like R.I.S.E increased students’ academic performance by up to 11 percent.
- Effects of SEL programs like R.I.S.E are long lasting. Kindergarteners who participate in SEL programs and have stronger SEL skills are more likely to graduate high school, go to college/university, and obtain stable employment as young adults.
- Including SEL and character development is critical for educating the whole child. This approach can help bridge the achievement gap between students from high- and low-income settings and improve economic mobility for disadvantaged students.

How school climate affects young people:
- Schools with positive school climate practices like R.I.S.E have lower rates of bullying and absenteeism. Students in schools with positive school climate practices were more motivated to learn and had higher achievement scores over both the short and long term.
- Bullying in schools harms all students – not just those immediately impacted. A study of student achievement scores across 30 countries found a direct correlation between bullying and student reading scores.
- Research from Harvard University found that students participating in program like R.I.S.E reported significantly improved perception of the school climate as a whole, and improved perceptions of physical and emotional safely.
