Multiple regression data from a teacher-completed one-minute rating scale (i.e., the Brief Behavior, Academic, and Social Screener; B-BASS) predicted academic risk of 198 third- through fifth-grade rural elementary students; teacher ratings across 16 B-BASS items within cognitive, social/emotional, socioeconomic/family, and executive functions domains predicted 81.4% and 66.2% of the variance in high-stakes End-of-Grade Tests of English Language Arts/Reading and Mathematics, respectively. The psychometric properties of this universal screener (e.g., test-retest reliabilities) are strong given its brief nature; consequently; the B-BASS is recommended for screening at-risk status in a number of academic and social areas. Implications, limitations, and specific recommendations are discussed.
