Since 2003, HSSSE has been used to measure the engagement of secondary students, with more than 400,000 students in over 40 states completing the survey between 2006 and 2013.
As of 2013, CEEP no longer administers HSSSE as a fee-for-service. The use of HSSSE survey items by schools, districts, and researchers is now permitted without charge. The Center for Evaluation and Education Policy (CEEP) and HSSSE must be cited/referenced in documentation and publications.
