Education Week’s tracker reports a steep decline in school shootings that caused injuries or deaths in 2025—the fewest in five years—and notes zero such shootings so far in 2026. The 2025 tally counted 17 incidents with seven fatalities, down sharply from prior years. The tracker emphasizes methodology and provides state-by-state breakdowns and incident lists. For campus safety teams across K-12 and higher education, the data offers a less acute but still urgent policy context for security planning, mental-health supports, threat assessment coordination, and community outreach as districts and colleges calibrate prevention strategies.
