The verdict

First Student runs at 101% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Bus operation, school and employee workplace, earning a grade C.

First Student: 4.6 TCR = 101% of Bus operation, school and employee BLS 4.5 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

First Student safety composite

First Student scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 41%), 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).

First Student has more employees than the Bus operation, school and employee median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 4.3. 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.
