KMS Secondary: 5.7 TCR = 409% of K-12 Education BLS 1.4 · 8y Form 300A (see methodology below)

KMS Secondary safety composite

KMS Secondary scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 79% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 29%), 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).
