The purpose of this study was to examine the impact that school-based mental health programs had on student functioning using building-level indicators. This study compared school buildings located in southwest Ohio which had operating school-based mental health programs to similar buildings throughout the state of Ohio without school-based mental health programs. The four variables used for comparison were: 1) the percentage of state indicators of performance met during the 2003-2004 school year, 2) school attendance rates of students, 3) suspension rates, and 4) expulsion rates. A questionnaire was developed to collect this building information and to supplement data obtained from the Ohio Department of Education. Results of the data analyses using a MANOVA and four ANOVAs did not demonstrate a significant relationship between school-based mental health programs and the four studied variables. This paper also presents limitations of the study and directions for future research.
