Education Week’s trackers recorded a significant decline in school shootings that resulted in injuries or deaths in 2025: the fewest incidents and fatalities since 2020. The year contained 17 incidents meeting the tracker’s criteria and seven deaths, down sharply from previous years. The reporting cautions that different trackers use different criteria and that any drop does not remove the policy urgency around school safety. The pieces provide granular state‑level and longitudinal data to inform district safety planning and legislative debates. For campus safety officers and K‑12 partners, the data reinforce the need to maintain preventive strategies, data transparency and tailored interventions rather than assuming the decline signals a resolved problem.
