2024-25 Indiana School Counselor Survey Results Summary
This year’s Indiana School Counselor Survey provides a detailed view into the pressing issues, successes, and ongoing challenges facing school counselors across the state. Here are some key insights from this year’s findings:
- Rising Social-Emotional Needs: Many school counselors report an increase in students’ social-emotional needs, attributing much of this to the lingering effects of the COVID pandemic and a reduction in time spent directly supporting students.
- Time Constraints with Students: Time spent with students remains a top concern.
- Higher Caseloads: For the first time in three years, the average student-to-counselor ratio has risen.
- Non-Counseling Duties: Counselors report spending around 15% of their time on tasks unrelated to counseling, such as test monitoring and attendance tracking.
- Growth in Comprehensive Counseling Programs: The percentage of schools with comprehensive counseling programs increased by 10% over last year.
For a closer look at these findings and more, read the full report.
