Of the 38 students involved in safety incidents at Douglas County schools, 52.6% of them were boys, according to the Nevada Accountability Portal. This is 10.2% less than the state’s average of 62.8%.

The number of Douglas County boys involved in criminal activity at school reduced by 63% compared to the previous year.

Out of 14 Douglas County schools, Douglas High School reported the most boys getting in trouble, reaching 13 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.

Some data provided by the Nevada Accountability Portal may be incomplete due to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.
