Along with academics, we offer many special services and activities that are important to children who are blind or who have visual impairment. Orientation and mobility teachers help our students learn how to be comfortable in their surroundings and safely get from place to place. We are always working to make sure that the campus is safe and accessible for all of our students, including those in wheelchairs. 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.
