Upper Dublin Named 39th Safest District In PA: Study

UPPER DUBLIN, PA — Good news for Upper Dublin 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.

"Upper Dublin is a very great school," one senior student wrote recently. "The teachers that work there are always there to help and they always make sure you are understanding the concept. They don't like when students leave there class confused, so they always ask and make sure we know what we learned."

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.
