Reported episodes of fights and physical aggression among L.A. Unified students rose over a third last year, despite an increase in school staffing and declining enrollment. The first month of this school year showed a 25% rise in such incidents.
In a recent survey, 61% of high school students indicated they feel safe in schools, while nearly one in 10 admitted to feeling unsafe. This raises concerns about the perception of safety among students.
School board member Tanya Ortiz Franklin acknowledged the troubling trend, stating, 'This is hard to see - that things are getting worse over the last few years.' She emphasized the importance of addressing violence signs in schools.
The increase in fights and aggression raises alarm as schools try to promote a safe environment. The School Experience Survey reflects essential data regarding student sentiment about safety, highlighting differing perceptions among various student demographics.
