How safe is your child’s school? Recent national events have put student safety at the forefront, and one website has revealed which Massachusetts school districts rank highest in this category. Niche.com released its list of the Safest School Districts for 2018.

The list was created using information from the U.S. Department of Education, the FBI, parent reviews and other data. Niche assigned the most value – 50 percent – to health and safety reports from students and parents; expenses per student and student absenteeism were assigned the second-most value at 10 percent, suspensions accounted for 7.5 percent; and expulsions, law enforcement referrals and school-related arrests rounded were at 5 percent.
