Of the 355 students involved in safety incidents at Elko County schools, 35.5% of them were girls, according to the Nevada Accountability Portal. This is 1.7% less than the state’s average of 37.2%.

The number of Elko County girls involved in criminal activity at school grew by 85.3% compared to the previous year.

Out of 34 Elko County schools, Adobe Middle School reported the most girls getting in trouble, reaching 33 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.
