There were 89 American Indian students involved in criminal incidents at Clark County schools in the 2022-23 school year, according to the Nevada Accountability Portal.

American Indian students committed 0.5% of the 17,773 criminal incidents in Clark County schools in the 2022-23 school year. This is unchanged in the share of crimes committed by American Indian students compared to the year before.

The most common offense committed by American Indian students involved violence, occurring 56.3% of the time.

The year before, incidents involving violence were also the most common crimes committed by American Indian Clark County students.

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

Overall, the total number of criminal incidents in Clark County schools increased by 14.9% compared to the previous year.

Within Clark County, Valley 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.
