LOWER MORELAND, PA — Good news for Lower Moreland parents and students.

The district has been named the 32nd 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.

"Our academics are amazing," one senior recently wrote. "They are challenging for us to be prepared for college experience. The teachers are so helpful. If a student is having trouble, they will take their time to help us do better. Whats so great about this school is that they really help us prepare for college. Once you become a junior, they have many meetings with the students to help guide them"
