Jaclyn Schildkraut, executive director for the Regional Gun Violence Research Consortium at the Rockefeller Institute of Government, said that while the group doesn’t have a generally accepted data source to track the number of mass shootings at K-12 schools, it found only one in 2023 — the Nashville Covenant School shooting.
Schildkraut told Chalkboard News that 2024 had three such mass school shootings: one at Perry High School in Perry, Iowa, another at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia and, most recently, the shooting at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin.
