Description
The Student Risk Screening Scale (SRSS) is a free, brief behavioral screening instrument. Despite previous psychometric studies, little research has examined the interrater reliability of the SRSS, especially at secondary levels. Our study used a sample of 247 sixth grade students from a Southeast middle school, each rated by two teachers. We examined the interrater reliability between raters, as well as predictive validity of total suspension rates and days missed in school with SRSS scores.
