Safe and Sound Schools is the leading national non-profit providing solutions for comprehensive safety – supporting schools in crisis prevention, response, and recovery to protect every school, and every child, every day.

This annual State of School Safety Report measures perceptions of safety among four key stakeholder groups: students, parents, public safety, and educators (including school leaders, staff, support staff, and school-based mental health).

This fifth annual report highlights safety issues important to all stakeholders and identifies areas where further exploration, education, and conversations are needed. Schools and local communities are encouraged to use these findings to drive the important – and sometimes difficult – conversations necessary to address the myriad issues impacting the safety of our school communities.
