SLA@Beeber has a four-year advisory program so that every student has an advocate and every parent has a first point of contact at the school. 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.

This data reflects the total number of incidents, suspensions, and expulsions per 100 students reported by the school to the Pennsylvania Department of Education.

Data for private schools are derived from similar reports submitted directly to GreatPhillySchools.
