School counselors share results from data collected during the year to demonstrate counseling program effectiveness, educate the community about the importance of supporting students' academic achievement, social/emotional awareness, and college and career readiness, and provide evidence that supporting a comprehensive school counseling program is proven to increase student achievement, increase student attendance, and reduce the number of behavioral problems within the school.
