Center for Public Integrity - U.S. Department of Education data analyzed by the Center for Public
Integrity show that Virginia schools in a single year referred students
to law enforcement agencies at a rate nearly three times the national
rate. Virginia’s referral rate: about 16 for every 1,000 students,
compared to a national rate of six referrals for every 1,000 students.
In Virginia, some of the individual schools with highest rates of
referral — in one case 228 per 1,000 — were middle schools, whose
students are usually from 11 to 14 years old.
