Note. Bullying problems (0 = insignificant problem, 3 = severe problem); Safety scale, constructed with standardized z-scores and reverse coded (−3.16 = school is unsafe, 1.01 = school is safe); Bullying prevention policy is presented as percentage of principals that endorse that school has policy; Free/reduced meal program is presented as the average percentage of eligible students within schools; Academic Performance Index (API) measures schools’ academic performance ranging from 200 (low) to 1,000 (high). Means, standard deviations, and ns are based on data prior to imputation to account for missing data. Therefore, sample sizes vary.
