OP here. I don't know that the lack of school shootings so far at private schools (that I know of) is necessarily evidence that they're safer. Only 10% of students nationwide attend private schools, so I wouldn't expect an occurrence that remains fairly unusual to necessarily happen at schools that educate such a small percentage of students. My question is whether there are substantive reasons why private schools are safer. [/quote]I can't speak to school shootings but I can tell you that it was at dd's elite private school where she was sexually assaulted and had access to drugs and alcohol.  She was safer at her DC public school in terms of interpersonal violence and a climate of drugs and drinking.

But, of course, you're not asking about that.  I just am adding it in case people start assuming that private schools are safer in other ways.  But the reality is that sometimes it's the rich entitled boys who are the dangerous ones.[/quote]
