School vision and mission statements are an explicit indication of a school's priorities. Research has found academic motivation, mental health promotion, and school belonging to be the most frequently cited themes in these statements. The present study sought to examine whether these themes relate to student academic achievement, as indicated by National Assessment Program — Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) scores. A stratified sample of 287 secondary schools in Victoria, Australia was analysed using two language analytic approaches: qualitative emergent coding and supervised lexical analysis. The highest academic scores occurred when mental health promotion was included, though results depended to some extent on the analytic approach and the level of aggregation. Results do suggest that explicitly prioritising both academic performance and mental health is beneficial. Further, the study provides an approach for using language analysis to investigate multilevel constructs in schools.

学校价值观：学术动机、心理健康促进和学校归属感与学生成绩的比较

学校愿景和使命宣言是学校优先事项的明确指示。研究发现，学术动机、心理健康促进和学校归属是这些陈述中最常引用的主题。本研究试图检验这些主题是否与学生的学业成就有关，如国家评估计划 - 识字和算术 (NAPLAN) 分数所示。使用两种语言分析方法对澳大利亚维多利亚 287 所中学的分层样本进行了分析：定性涌现编码和监督词汇分析。最高的学术分数出现在心理健康促进被包括在内时，尽管结果在某种程度上取决于分析方法和汇总水平。结果确实表明，明确优先考虑学习成绩和心理健康是有益的。此外，该研究提供了一种使用语言分析来调查学校多层次结构的方法。
