The safety of our school community is of paramount importance. As such, we prioritize Restorative Practices to help students take ownership of challenges and have the tools to respond to difficult situations in an honest and productive manner. As a PBIS school we also implement a Multi-Tiered System of Supports to ensure we are reaching each student with the supports they need to thrive here at Frankford. At Frankford (FKD) our schoolwide norms are centered around three core principles - Focused, Knowledgeable and Determined ("FKD3"). These principles, voted on by the student body, represent valued tenets that guide students through their formative high school years and will hopefully remain integral to their professional repertoire as they transition post high 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.

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.
