Our social goal is to support the development of individuals who respect each other and are responsible, friendly, fair, trustworthy, and honest. We want our children to become more self-confident as they grow in their ability to solve complex problems. We want our children to interact with others in a positive, non-violent manner. We want our children to experience an environment that supports a community of diverse learners. 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.
