At-risk Defined
The following is in context to Education, because it's common for a single word to have multiple meanings you will find additional research links near the bottom of the page.
"Being “at-risk” means having one or more family background or other factors that have been found to predict a high rate of school failure at some time in the future. This “failure” generally refers to dropping out of high school before graduating but also can mean being retained within a grade from one year to the next. The risk factors include having a mother whose education is less than high school, living in a single-parent family, receiving welfare assistance, and living in a household where the primary language spoken is other than English."
