Hackett School has a large population of children with special needs who have serious health concerns. These health issues require the reporting of serious incidents that are documented through the School District. GreatPhillySchools currently uses this data to formulate the safety rating without distinguishing between a health-related serious incident and one that is violent in nature.

We practice positive behavioral support strategies including: Power of Three school-wide behavior expectations, Class Dojo, Mind Yeti mindfulness intervention program, and Second Step social/emotional learning. We also welcome family and community involvement through our Home and School Association, Character-building assembly programs, School Advisory Council (SAC), and Friends of Hackett group.

How is the rating for School Incidents calculated? This rating represents the reportable incident count per 100 students. Reported suspensions and expulsions are not factored into the rating for School Incidents. Learn more about GPS ratings methodology here.

Reported Incidents	Reported Suspensions	Reported Expulsions

This data reflects the total number of incidents, suspensions, and expulsions per 100 students reported by the school to the Pennsylvania Department of Education. To view a reportable incident report for a particular public school, see the Pennsylvania Safe Schools Reports. Data for private schools are derived from similar reports submitted directly to GreatPhillySchools.
