The verdict

Secondary runs at 155% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical K-12 Education workplace, earning a grade D.

Secondary: 2.2 TCR = 155% of K-12 Education BLS 1.4 · 8y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Secondary safety composite

Secondary scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 79% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 50%), 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).
