Parents of school-aged children (aged 6-17) were also asked how often they felt that their children were safe in school. Overall, parents report that 88.4 percent of children are usually or always safe in school.

Younger school-aged children (aged 6-11) are more likely to be reported to be safe in school (91.8 percent) than are adolescents aged 12-17 (85.2 percent).

Parents of children in higher-income families are also more likely to report that their children are safe in school. Parents of 76.1 percent of children with family incomes below the poverty level report that their children are usually or always safe in school, compared to 83.7 percent of children with family incomes between 100 and 199 percent of poverty and over 90 percent of children in higher-income families (92.5 percent of children with family incomes between 200 and 399 percent of FPL and 96.0 percent of children with family incomes of 400 percent of FPL or more.)
