Western Reserve Schools (K-12 Campus) standing, low SDWIS violation third
855 people served (SDWIS) - smaller served population (≤ 999). Corpus terciles use 29,740 systems serving 500+ (the sitemap cohort). Health-based share 13% is middle-third health share (≤ 23%). Population rank #21,692 of 29,740 among systems serving 500+.
The verdict
Western Reserve Schools (K-12 Campus) is in the lower third by violation count (16; lower-third violation load (≤ 21 violations)). A low count does not mean the system is unmonitored - monitoring and reporting violations still appear in SDWIS. Population served is smaller (855; smaller served population (≤ 999)), so each violation row represents a compact service footprint. Health-based share is 13% (middle-third health share (≤ 23%)). No UCMR5 PFAS test appears for this system in this extract.

How many violations vs. how serious, among peer systems
Western Reserve Schools (K-12 Campus) plotted against 29 peer public water systems (500+ people served), by total violation count (x) and the share of those violations that are health-based (y). The crosshair sits at this sample's own median on each axis. A high violation count does not automatically mean a serious record: most monitoring and reporting violations are minor, not health-based.
