How it compares in Harris County

1.09 high-risk violations per inspection, against a county median of 0.60. Lower is better.

Better than 21 out of 100 daycares in Harris County, and 19 out of 100 across the Houston metro. Rate, not raw count, because a center inspected 22 times will always have more findings on paper than one inspected twice.
