Long Definition:

The percent of students within a given school who reported that they had ever been robbed at school.

This question was answered as part of the SurveyWorks questionnaire and was included in the surveys for Elementary, Middle, and High school students. SurveyWorks is the Rhode Island Department of Education's new opinions-and-perceptions survey and is administered annually to all students in grades 4-12. SurveyWorks is age appropriate for each level — elementary, middle and high school — but it covers roughly the same areas of questioning for all three levels.
