Learn how LiveSchool's Big 5 Data helps educators track student behavior, analyze trends, and improve PBIS outcomes with a free data reporting template.
Through consistent data checks, schools can identify when changes are needed and assess progress after the change is implemented.
Big 5 Data
One way to help systemize your data is using the Big 5. This is a set of 5 categories that identify the important information that should be collected and reviewed regarding student behavior. Each of these categories will help provide a picture of how behavior is going in your school and if your current solutions are working.

The Big 5 Data includes:
Who: Demographic Data on Who’s Getting Referrals
Start with data on which students are receiving referrals. This can include the following but is not limited to:
- Grade Level
- Ethnicity
- Socioeconomic status
What: Referral Data Category
Identify how often each type of referral is occurring. Here are some common categories that you can add to, if needed.
- Failure to follow staff directions
- Skipping and tardies
- Disruptive Behavior
- Student to Student Conflict
- Student to Staff Conflict
- Possession or Use of Banned Materials
- Vandalism
When: Times that Referrals are Happening
By graphing the times when a referral takes place, it will be easier to see any patterns in disruptive behavior. For example, if there is a cluster around lunch time, you can change some student lunches to alleviate the conflict.
Where: Location of Referral Incidents
Similarly to the “When” category, viewing patterns around location will help with identifying if staff is needed in a specific area more often.
How often: How Many Students Fall into Each of Your 3 Tiers
The goal in PBIS is to have at least 80% of your student population in tier 1. How is your school doing against that goal?
Also, it’s good to include your ISS and OSS numbers as well as data from any other consequences your school uses for a full picture.
