Of the 6,187 students involved in safety incidents at Washoe County schools, 63.4% of them were boys, according to the Nevada Accountability Portal. This is 0.6% more than the state’s average of 62.8%.
The number of Washoe County boys involved in criminal activity at school grew by 12.8% compared to the previous year.
Out of 119 Washoe County schools, William O’Brien Middle School reported the most boys getting in trouble, reaching 391 total incidents in the 2022-23 school year.
Parents have raised concerns about increasing crime in Nevada schools.
“Nevada schools are in a state of crisis as classroom violence increases,” Sig and Lori Rogich wrote in an opinion column in the Reno Gazette Journal.
An analysis of school district police data by the Las Vegas Sun found that both the occurrence and intensity of crimes within schools are increasing dangerously.
