🌟 Spotlight Schools in Safety
Recognizing America’s Safest Campuses and Districts
Every student deserves to learn in a safe, secure environment. Our Spotlight Schools in Safety page honors the campuses and districts that go above and beyond to ensure just that — and serves as a guidepost for others across the nation.
🏅 What It Means to Be a Spotlight School
Spotlight Schools are recognized not just for compliance, but for leadership in school safety. These schools actively demonstrate exceptional scores across our 94-Point Safety Zone Assessment, utilize real-time safety data, and foster community trust through transparency and action.
📊 Selected Based on Real Safety Metrics
Using our proprietary Dynamic Safety Score℠ (DSS) and SafetyNet|REPORT℠ analytics, we highlight schools whose safety profiles consistently outperform regional and national benchmarks. These recognitions are data-driven and updated regularly.
🏫 Campus Tours + Case Profiles
Each featured school or district includes a comprehensive profile:
Walkthrough of campus safety infrastructure
Interviews with administrators and safety teams
Before-and-after DSS performance
Community involvement and feedback
🌐 Interactive Spotlight Map
Parents, students, and educators can view recognized Spotlight Schools on our national SafeSchool|MAP℠. Zoom in by zip code, state, or district to explore safety leaders in your area.
📣 Voices From the Front Lines
Spotlight Schools feature testimonials from students, teachers, parents, and local safety partners. These firsthand accounts bring each success story to life and provide real insight into effective safety culture.
🎓 Learning From the Best
Each spotlight includes “What We Can Learn” — a set of replicable practices, strategies, and partnerships that other schools can adopt. We make it easy to turn inspiration into action.
🤝 Recognizing the People Behind the Score
Safety success is never accidental. We spotlight safety coordinators, SROs, maintenance leads, and administrators who champion these efforts every day — giving credit where it’s due.
