School counselors are available to help students in many ways, including: discussions of personal issues, academic concerns, questions about test scores, how to do better in class, and how to improve relationships with other students or teachers.

Counselors can also help students when referrals are necessary for health and community services, psychological services, social services, and career-related services.
