Education Week’s tracking shows the number of school shootings that produced injuries or deaths fell sharply in 2025, recording 17 incidents and seven deaths—the fewest since 2020. The tracker offers a state-by-state accounting of incidents and casualties dating back to 2018 and provides details used by districts and policymakers. A separate Education Week update noted there were zero school shootings with injuries or deaths so far in the new year, reflecting a brief lull in incidents. The data emphasize variability across states and the continued importance of localized safety planning and mental‑health resources. District leaders, campus security teams, and higher‑education outreach partners should treat the decline as a planning signal rather than proof of structural change: the tracker’s methodology counts only incidents with injuries or deaths on school property during school hours or sponsored events, which narrows but clarifies the dataset for operational decision-making.
