The verdict

Middle School runs at 359% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical K-12 Education workplace, earning a grade F.

Middle School: 5.0 TCR = 359% of K-12 Education BLS 1.4 · 7y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Middle School safety composite

Middle School scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 79% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 35%), 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).

Middle School (79 employees, TCR 5.0) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 76 employees and a TCR of 3.8

Middle School has more employees than the K-12 Education median and a higher 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.
