School shootings in 2020-21 rose to the highest number in two decades, a new federal report looking at crime and safety in U.S. schools has found.
The National Center for Educational Statistics on Tuesday released a 31-page report that found there were at least 93 incidents with casualties at public and private schools across the U.S. in 2021-21.
The number represented the highest total since data collection began, the agency said, marking a major rise from the 23 incidents recorded in the 2000-01 school year.
