The verdict

First Student runs at 90% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Bus operation, school and employee workplace, earning a grade C.

First Student: 4.0 TCR = 90% of Bus operation, school and employee BLS 4.5 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

First Student safety composite

First Student scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 54% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 20%), 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 (63 employees, TCR 4.0) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 74 employees and a TCR of 4.3

First Student has fewer employees than the Bus operation, school and employee median and a lower 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.
