In this study, Student Risk Screening Scale - Internalizing Externalizing (SRSS-IE; Lane, Oakes, Harris, et al., 2012) scores were examined to assess changes in student behavioral performance over time. A rural elementary school in a Midwestern state administered the SRSS-IE during the winter 2012 and spring 2013 within the context of a multi-tiered prevention model. This study investigated the initial overall levels of student risk, shifts in student risk, and the magnitude of relation between the SRSS-IE and its subscale scores to office discipline referrals (ODRs) earned throughout the school year. Results revealed the SRSS-IE scores were highly stable over time and relations found between the SRSS-I5 subscale scores and ODRs (r = 0.06, -0.00) were not statistically significant. Limitations, future directions, and implications for the findings related to these research objectives are discussed.
