The students who need the most attention are not always the ones generating the most alerts.
A student can accumulate weeks of lower-severity signals: a flagged search, a concerning document, a message that alone would never trigger an escalation. Taken together, they tell a different story. For school counselors and threat assessment teams managing hundreds of students across a district, seeing that story before it becomes a crisis is the hardest part of the job. The Student Risk Indicator Report in Lightspeed Alert™ addresses this directly.
What Is the Student Risk Indicator Report?
The Student Risk Indicator Report is a feature within Lightspeed Alert™ that moves safety teams beyond reacting to individual incidents by surfacing student risk patterns over time. Rather than showing a list of recent alerts, it scores each student across 30 days of monitored activity, factors in what Lightspeed’s human safety reviewers concluded about each incident, and assigns a current risk level of Imminent, High, Elevated, or Low. That score updates continuously as new activity comes in and as review outcomes change.
How Does the Student Risk Indicator Report Calculate Student Risk?
Each student’s risk level is weighted by three factors: severity of flagged activity, recency of that activity, and what Lightspeed’s human safety reviewers actually concluded when they reviewed each incident.
What Do the Four Risk Levels Mean?
- Imminent: Recent activity indicates an immediate, serious concern that warrants urgent review.
- High: The student’s activity shows a pattern of high-severity concerns in recent weeks.
- Elevated: A meaningful accumulation of lower-severity signals that, together, warrant attention.
- Low: One or more flagged signals exist, but their frequency and severity remain low.
How Can Safety Teams Use BOB to Analyze Student Risk?
BOB, Lightspeed’s AI-powered safety analysis tool, is embedded directly in the Risk Indicator Report. Safety coordinators and threat assessment leads can ask BOB why a student is at a given risk level, surface related alerts that may point to a developing pattern, and analyze trends by grade, school, or district on demand without leaving the report.
Example queries:
- “What’s driving this student’s Elevated rating?”
- “Are there related alerts I should review?”
- “How does risk look across 10th grade at Lincoln High right now?”
Who Should Use the Student Risk Indicator Report?
Threat assessment teams and safety coordinators use the report to identify which students are accumulating risk signals and prioritize follow-up. The report is scoped automatically to assigned schools and requires no setup.
Directors of Student Services and Safety Directors use the district-level trend analysis in BOB for board reporting, principal check-ins, and program reviews.
Alert Human Review must be enabled. The report is included with Lightspeed Alert and Human Review at no additional cost.
