Of the 20 students involved in safety incidents at Pershing County schools, 35% of them were boys, according to the Nevada Accountability Portal. This is 27.8% less than the state’s average of 62.8%.

The number of Pershing County boys involved in criminal activity at school reduced by 36.4% compared to the previous year.

Out of four Pershing County schools, Pershing County Middle School and Pershing County High School reported the most boys getting in trouble, reaching four 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.
