The good news comes after the same report last school year showed an upswing in alcohol and cigarette use among students who took the survey anonymously.
The survey continues to suggest that students here fall below the national average in nearly every category of substance usage.
Students in grades 4, 7, 9 and 11 usually take the survey in the spring of an academic year. This new report represents about 7,000 students who took the survey last school year.
Jason Golden, the district's chief operating officer, presented the new data to school board members at their work session last week, explaining that as children get older, they tend to experiment more.
The report also showed a decrease in the use of hallucinogens and steroids among 9th- and 11th-graders.
