To compile the ranking, 50 percent was based on parent and student surveys on health and safety. Student absenteeism, suspensions and expulsions were also factored into the rankings, well as percentage of students referred to law enforcement and school-related arrests.

The Yorktown school district was listed as the safest district in the Hudson Valley, and the third safest school in New York State. The rankings named Orchard Park Central School District in West Seneca as the safest district in New York.
