No American Indian students were involved in criminal incidents at Lander County schools in the 2022-23 school year, according to the Nevada Accountability Portal.

The year before, incidents involving consuming alcohol were the most common crimes committed by American Indian Lander County students.

Incidents involving violence were the most prevalent crimes among all students in Lander County schools in the 2022-23 school year.

Overall, the total number of criminal incidents in Lander County schools increased by 186.7% compared to the previous year.

Within Lander County, Eleanor Lemaire Junior High 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.

Some data provided by the Nevada Accountability Portal may be incomplete, as it is subject to the limitations imposed by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.
