Youth at Risk of DCYF-Schools Involvement

Essential Question:
Which schools have high numbers of students at risk of involvement with the juvenile justice system, and how can data help these schools and others manage the risks?

A profile of at risk youth in schools can help us help them.

Introduction to the Youth at Risk data story

Using the data of students who have enrolled in DCYF schools, we created a profile of students who are not yet involved with DCYF schools but who we believe are at risk. Our factors include the Balfanz indicators as well as several others. They are:

  • Chronic Absenteeism;
  • Retention in Grade;
  • Excessive Mobility;
  • Free and Reduced Lunch (Poverty Indicator)
    Data Source: RIDE

  • Maternal Health Outcomes
    Data Source: Health Department

  • Schools with Low Anger Management (High percentages of students who report being threatened with violence, feeling unsafe at school, and being robbed, among others)
    Data Source: SALT Survey
