The verdict

Discovery Academy runs at 259% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Elementary schools workplace, earning a grade F.

Discovery Academy: 3.6 TCR = 259% of Elementary schools BLS 1.4 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Discovery Academy safety composite

Discovery Academy scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 22%), 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).
