All Moffet students are expected to be respectful, responsible and ready, and we work as a school community to teach our students what that means. Students who adhere to Moffet's 3 R's are considered to be "Moffetized." A student of the month celebration is held to recognize students who exhibit Moffet's 3 R's. 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.
