  • School Violence
















  • School Violence


    Fewer than 1% of all homicides among school-age children occur on or around school grounds or on the way to and from school. Nearly two-thirds of school-associated violent deaths were students; about one-tenth were teachers or other staff; and nearly one-quarter were community members killed on school property.

    Eight out of 10 school homicide or suicide victims were males.

    28% of the school-related deaths occurred inside the school building; 36% occurred outdoors on school property; and 35% occurred off campus.

    Future Steps

    We must improve the capacity of local and state authorities, community-based organizations, and private sector partners to support services and policies that work to prevent school violence. Steps to prevent school violence include:

    Work with partners like the Departments of Education and Justice to better track and monitor school violence.

    Identify factors that increase or decrease risk of school violence.

    Develop and test new strategies to prevent school violence.

    What Are School-Related Violent Deaths?

    School-related violent deaths are those that occur on school grounds, on the way to and from school, and on the way to and from school-sponsored activities.

    Violent Behavior at School

    Among students surveyed in a 1999 CDC study:

    14% had been in a physical fight on school property one or more times in the preceding 12 months.

    8% had been threatened or injured with a weapon on school property during the preceding 12 months.

    7% carried a weapon on school property during the preceding 30 days.

    5% had missed one or more days of school during the preceding 30 days because they felt too unsafe to go to school.

    This information came from a CDC online article.
