The paper presents the results of national and local surveys measuring school safety using scales from the School Success Profile questionnaire. The national sample consisted of 1386 students from grades 9-11 and the local sample consisted of 480 vocational high school students from grades 9-11 (from Cluj-Napoca only). In the first part of the analysis – the examination of the psychometric properties of the measures – a descriptive analysis was performed, followed by an internal consistency assessment using the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, and a Principal Components Analysis that explored whether all items subscribed to the same factor. In the second part of the analysis – the prevalence of school violence – indiscipline and low grades was compared among the two samples. The relations between school safety and school behaviour (attendance and discipline), respectively school performance (grades) were investigated using Pearson correlations, focusing on the differences between the two samples.
