I used to live two blocks away from a school and you would be surprised how many close calls there are with kids parents and traffic around a school area. The safest way unfortunately is to drive them there and drop them off. That school was on a main drive however which compounds the issues as you have local traffic and school traffic. If a school is tucked away like the one in Arbor Lake one of my boys go to it's not as big a deal.
