Which Pa. schools had the largest number of arrests in 2019-20?
Updated Feb 15, 2021;
The Pennsylvania Department of Education’s annual Safe Schools report for the 2019-20 school year showed a noticeable drop in reported arrests.
Districts are required to submit their misconduct reports, both criminal and academic infractions, to the state every year. Reporting sometimes changes from year-to-year, but no changes were made last school year.
Last year, the top three criminal reasons why students were in trouble statewide were:
Possession, use, or sale of tobacco or vaping 8.34 percent
Fighting 8.14 percent
Minor altercation 5.42 percent
Here’s a list of the schools that had the largest number of arrests, and the crime that was most common at each school.

A secondary education social studies major with a minor in history, Biesecker started job-hunting last spring and found that teaching jobs weren’t quite as prevalent as usual because of the havoc wreaked by COVID-19 in schools nationwide.

Eighteen days after scanning the Alaska Teacher Placement website, Biesecker was in Utqiaġvik, Alaska, nearly 3,500 miles away from her McSherrystown home in Adams County.
