At Frankford (FKD) we have established the "FKD 3" principles . These principles, voted on by the student body, represent their desire to be Focused, Knowledgeable, and Determined during their high school years and beyond. We also utilize Restorative Practices to instill a more intense sense of community within the school and to help students respond to difficult situations that they face in an honest and productive manner.

How is the rating for School Incidents calculated? This rating represents the reportable incident count per 100 students. Reported suspensions and expulsions are not factored into the rating for School Incidents. Learn more about GPS ratings methodology here.

Reported Incidents	Reported Suspensions	Reported Expulsions

This data reflects the total number of incidents, suspensions, and expulsions per 100 students reported by the school to the Pennsylvania Department of Education. To view a reportable incident report for a particular public school, see the Pennsylvania Safe Schools Reports. Data for private schools are derived from similar reports submitted directly to GreatPhillySchools.
