There were five Black students involved in criminal incidents at Churchill County schools in the 2022-23 school year, according to the Nevada Accountability Portal.

Black students committed 2.2% of the 227 criminal incidents in Churchill County schools in the 2022-23 school year. This is an increase in the share of crimes committed by Black students compared to the year before.

The most common offense committed by Black students involved violence, occurring 80% of the time.

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

Overall, the total number of criminal incidents in Churchill County schools increased by 64.5% compared to the previous year.

Within Churchill County, Churchill County 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.
