The K-12 Safety Standard
94 safety zones. Each scored 0–100. One overall score. Every school.
Finally — a way for schools to actually measure their safety.
Turn uncertainty into action with POSI — a proven system to self‑assess, benchmark, and continuously advance your safety posture. Powered by: 4‑Level Safety Standard℠ · 94‑Point Safety Zones℠ · Dynamic Safety Score℠ · SafeSchool REPORT℠
Zero Shared Standard.
The U.S. spends billions annually on K–12 school safety. Yet no standardized measurement framework exists. Every school approaches safety differently — measured inconsistently, managed reactively, and understood subjectively. What can't be measured can't be improved.
"There is no trusted source of truth for school safety in America — and that void creates systemic risk for 50 million students."
🔍 FIND ANY K-12 SCHOOL PROFILE IN AMERICA ⤵
Find Your School.
Search 130,000+ K–12 school profiles — built from public directory data. Assessed safety scores are never displayed without the school's consent.
🔒 Profiles show public directory information only (location and mapping data provided by Google). A Dynamic Safety Score℠ appears only when a school completes an assessment and chooses to publish it.
Your Score. Your Decision. Always.
Protecting Our Students operates on a private-by-default standard. No school's assessed safety data is ever published, ranked, or shared without that school's written authorization.
Private by Default
Every Dynamic Safety Score℠, SafeSchool REPORT℠, and assessment response is confidential to the school that created it. Period.
Public by Choice
Schools that complete an assessment may elect to display a verified safety badge on their public profile — controlled entirely by district leadership, reversible at any time.
Directory ≠ Assessment
Search listings draw only from publicly available sources — NCES records and Google Maps Platform. They contain no POSI assessment findings.
Protected, Never Sold
Assessment data is access-controlled and used solely to serve your school. It is never sold, shared with third parties, or used for advertising.
Every School. Every Zone.
Protecting Our Students, Inc. established the first self-assessment, national standard for measuring K–12 school safety — built on three interconnected components that together create a complete, auditable, and continuously improving safety record for every school.
The SiteSafetyNet℠ assessment is built and delivered by Protecting Our Students, Inc. POSI is currently accepting public and private schools into a free pilot program — no application, no cost, no obligation.
No application. No contract. No cost. Your team works through each level at their own pace — Level 1 is a campus walk-through, while Levels 2, 3, and 4 are completed seated, by the right people on your team. Every level produces a verified, board-ready SafeSchool REPORT℠ your district can act on immediately.
Not Just a Checklist.
Every POSI assessment follows one repeatable cycle: Assess → Score → Improve → Reassess. Four concrete steps that turn school safety from a static document into a living, continuously improving system.
Private by Default. Public Only When You Choose.
Your Dynamic Safety Score℠ and SafeSchool REPORT℠ are visible only to your team during the improvement process. No public exposure of gaps. No media risk. When you're ready — and only if you choose — opt in to display a self-verified safety badge that builds trust with families and your community.
