Spring-Ford Named 10th Safest District In PA: Study

ROYERFORD, PA — Good news for Spring-Ford parents and students.

The district has been named the 10th safest in the state, according to a new Niche.com analysis.

The list was created using information from the U.S. Department of Education, the FBI, parent reviews and other data.

"I have gone to the Spring-Ford School District my whole life, and I absolutely love it," a high school senior wrote in a review of the district. "It is a great environment where the teachers try their best to teach the students in ways that they learn best. Our academic program is challenging, however; it prepares us for our futures."

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.
