Philadelphia School District Violent Crime Index Data

The chart below lists 279 Philadelphia schools and the number of violent crime incidents for the school years 2002-03 through 2005-06 through April 28.

The chart also lists a violent crime rate for each year which was calculated per 100 students based on enrollments for the corresponding school years.

The district includes the following crime categories in its violent crime index: abductions, arsons, assaults, drug & alcohol offenses, morals offenses, robberies, and weapons offenses. The assault category includes all serious crime such as homicide.

The district collects and investigates all school-related incidents, both in school and outside, as reported by the schools and the Philadelphia Police Department.

According to The Inquirer's analysis, total violent incidents have dropped 14 percent, this year compared to the same period last year. During the same period, enrollment dropped two percent.

There were 7,210 total incidents in 2002-03; 7,242 in 2003-04; 7,249 in 2004-05, and 5,272 in 2005-06. District enrollment dropped eight percent from 192,374 in 2002-03 to 177,627 this year.
