What is Crime Grade?

Crime Grade combines official crime reports from the FBI, state and local law enforcement with models that fill reporting gaps, producing one letter grade for a neighborhood’s overall safety. It appears here so families can see how safe the community around a school is. It never feeds the school’s grade.
