Crime

Private security guards work at each school under the supervision of the Metropolitan Police Department. Guards are required to record incidents and crimes at the school in a database. The data obtained from MPD shows that more than half of the teenage students are in schools that have enough violent crimes last year and this year to be classified as "persistently dangerous" under the DC standards.

Do you see something in this data that we should know more about? Please e-mail us at dc-schools@washpost.com.
