Feel Safe at School Results

Why are the results for the Feel Safe at School measure on my Bullying and School Safety Thematic Report different from the results on my Interactive Charts and One-Click Reports?

The results for the "Feel Safe Attending this School" measure on the One-Click Report and Interactive Charts reflect the percentage of students who meet the criteria to "feel safe" on a measure of school safety items including 3 items focused on feeling safe perceptions (at school, going to school, on the way home). The results of these items are calculated to produce a comparison of those students who are categorized as feeling safe versus those students who are categorized as not feeling safe.

How do I interpret the Feel Safe at School results reported in the Bullying and School Safety

Thematic Report?

The results for the ‘Feeling Safe at School’ breakdown on the Bullying and School Safety Thematic Report reflect the percentage of students who have indicated that they feel safe on each item separately (e.g., the percentage of students who feel safe going to school) and is based on the percentage of students who selected ‘agree’ or ‘strongly agree’ to each item.

Results for the 6 items regarding specific events are also shown (e.g., been in a physical fight, had something stolen). These reflect the percentage of students who report that they have experienced each of these events.
