Teens who Carried a Weapon to School: 9th Graders

Measurement Period: 2017-2019
This indicator shows the percentage of 9th graders who reported carrying a weapon other than a gun on school property on at least 1 day in the past 30 days.

Why is this important?

School shootings and other campus violence are on the rise in the United States. Access to weapons, unaddressed mental health issues, and bullying all contribute to the continued rise of school-based violence. Preventing students' access to weapons is one of the main ways in which school-based violence can be curbed.
