In fact, incidents involving violence were the most prevalent crimes among all students in Washoe County schools in the 2022-23 school year.

Overall, the total number of criminal incidents in Washoe County schools increased by 18.4% compared to the previous year.

Within Washoe County, William O'Brien Middle School experienced the highest level of student-perpetrated criminal activity.

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.
