Note: Because of the large number of county response rate concerns in 2020 due to the school closures for COVID-19 mitigation, this graph no longer presents multi-year averages. Instead, this graph presents the results for the 2022 PNA only. This reflects only the most current results. No results were available for Natrona County because they did not participate in the 2022 PNA. Niobrara County results are also not available because their 6th grade had a low response rate.
