What is SchoolGrade™?

  • Actual vs. Projected shows how much performance exceeds or trails what we’d expect given student and community context.
  • Teacher Grade summarizes that gap at the school level; it is not an evaluation of individual teachers.

What is Crime Grade?

Crime Grade uses a combination of official crime reports (FBI, state, and local law enforcement) and machine‐learning algorithms to fill in reporting gaps and correct errors, producing a single letter‐grade that reflects a neighborhood’s overall safety.

By integrating Crime Grade, parents see not only how well a school performs academically but also how safe the surrounding community is, giving a more complete picture of each school’s environment.
