Of the 944 students involved in safety incidents at Lyon County schools, 69.3% of them were boys, according to the Nevada Accountability Portal. This is 6.5% more than the state’s average of 62.8%.

The number of Lyon County boys involved in criminal activity at school grew by 45.7% compared to the previous year.

Out of 18 Lyon County schools, Fernley High School reported the most boys getting in trouble, reaching 106 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.
