†Not applicable.
1 Schools were not asked whether they had drilled students on the use of a plan for suicide threat or incident, severe risk of terrorist attack, and pandemic flu.
2 For example, earthquakes or tornadoes.
3 For example, release of mustard gas, anthrax, smallpox, or radioactive materials.
4 In 2007-08 and 2009-10, schools were asked whether they had a plan for procedures to be performed if the U.S. national threat level were changed to Red (Severe Risk of Terrorist Attack) by the Department of Homeland Security. In 2013-14, schools were asked whether they had a plan for procedures to be performed if an "imminent threat alert" were issued by the Department of Homeland Security's National Terrorism Advisory System.
5 Data on suicide threat or incident, severe risk of terrorist attack, and pandemic flu were not collected in 2003-04 and 2005-06.
6 Primary schools are defined as schools in which the lowest grade is not higher than grade 3 and the highest grade is not higher than grade 8. Middle schools are defined as schools in which the lowest grade is not lower than grade 4 and the highest grade is not higher than grade 9. High schools are defined as schools in which the lowest grade is not lower than grade 9 and the highest grade is not higher than grade 12. Combined schools include all other combinations of grades, including K-12 schools. Separate data on high schools and combined schools are not available for 2013-14.
7 Data for 2013-14 were collected using the Fast Response Survey System, while data for earlier years were collected using the School Survey on Crime and Safety (SSOCS). The 2013-14 survey was designed to allow comparisons with SSOCS data. However, respondents to the 2013-14 survey could choose either to complete the survey on paper (and mail it back) or to complete the survey online, whereas respondents to SSOCS did not have the option of completing the survey online. The 2013-14 survey also relied on a smaller sample. The smaller sample size and change in survey administration may have impacted 2013-14 results.
8 Because the 2013-14 survey did not collect data on the percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the classification of schools by the percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch was computed based on data obtained from the Common Core of Data.
NOTE: Responses were provided by the principal or the person most knowledgeable about crime and safety issues at the school.
