CHICAGO, IL, UNITED STATES, October 22, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Gaggle’s 2025 Student Safety Report shares new data on rising student safety concerns and the growing need for proactive intervention. Key findings include a 142% surge in gun-related images reported on. The report emphasizes the critical role early intervention plays in protecting student lives.

During the 2024–2025 school year, Gaggle

reviewed 6.9 billion pieces of student content. From that, 482,203 incidents were escalated to school districts for review. Gaggle’s Safety Team issued 26,855 emergency calls and helped districts intervene in time to save 1,088 student lives. That brings the five-year total to more than 6,300 lives saved through Gaggle’s partnership with schools.

“Every alert gives educators a chance to support a student before they reach a breaking point”, said Jeff Patterson, Gaggle CEO. “By combining technology with human insight, we make sure students are supported when it matters most.”

The report also demonstrates the growing impact of proactive tools. Gaggle’s Web Activity Monitoring, launched in late 2023, helped uncover 7,528 suicide-related emergencies that could have been missed. Many of these were searches or draft messages that revealed students in distress. These are all signals that might otherwise go unnoticed. Gaggle’s findings are a reminder that early warning signs are more than data, they’re calls to care, connection, and timely support.
