The Gresham SSRS is an assessment of "students' social behaviors that can affect teacher-student relations, peer acceptance, and academic performance." The SSRS has three age groupings for preschool (ages 3–5 years), elementary school (grades K–6), and secondary school years (grades 7–12). It uses teacher, parent, and student rating forms to sample social skills, problem behaviors, and academic competence. SSRS also rates academic scores because poor academic results and social behavior problems often occur together.
