The verdict

Central Elementary runs at 188% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Elementary schools workplace, earning a grade D.

Central Elementary: 2.6 TCR = 188% of Elementary schools BLS 1.4 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Central Elementary safety composite

Central Elementary scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 67% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 13%), blended into one 0-100 breakdown against same-industry peers. A missing measure drops out and redistributes its weight rather than deflating the score. This is a per-dimension breakdown, distinct from the single letter grade above it (which weights TCR alone against the BLS industry benchmark).

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Minnesota alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #564 safest of 1589 Elementary schools employers in Minnesota.

Central Elementary (29 employees, TCR 2.6) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 76 employees and a TCR of 3.8

Central Elementary has fewer employees than the Elementary schools median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.8. Workforce size and injury rate do not always move together within the same industry -- some of its smaller peers run higher rates than its larger ones, and vice versa.
