The share of parents and guardians who responded positively to "At this school my child is safe" on the NYC School Survey. This reflects what families reported, not students or staff.

We don't rank schools on this one. Almost every family answers it positively, so NYC schools are bunched within a few points of each other and a ranking would turn that gap into a verdict it can't support. The range above is where the middle half of schools land.
