The verdict

Elementary runs at 174% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical K-12 Education workplace, earning a grade D.

Elementary: 2.4 TCR = 174% of K-12 Education BLS 1.4 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Elementary safety composite

Elementary scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 70% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 24%), 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).

Elementary (66 employees, TCR 2.4) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 76 employees and a TCR of 3.8

Elementary has fewer employees than the K-12 Education 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.
