Low School Safety Scores Across Three Years
School Safety and Security had the lowest overall agreement score in Sogolytics' Annual Report on School Climate for three consecutive years, and in 2022–2023 Foxborough's parent score was 70%, leaving the district trailing the national average.
A Default Response That Wouldn't Move the Needle
Foxborough needed a strategy that would move safety perception and not just demonstrate effort. The default playbook of more cameras, checkpoints, and visible security alone doesn't shift how communities feel.
Insight-led An Awareness Gap Hidden Inside the Data
Foxborough needed to find the real driver behind low safety scores before deciding where to invest. A high rate of "Don't Know" responses on safety procedures and reporting protocols revealed an awareness gap, not dissatisfaction, pointing the district toward visibility, not new practices.
