Preferred term

at-risk students  

Definition

  • The label “at-risk” gained prominence in the taxonomy of educational research in the 1980s subsequent to the publication of the commissioned report, A Nation at Risk. This document both documented and lamented the status of the U.S. educational system in comparison to the school systems of other industrialized nations.
