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.

CHICO, Calif. – The countdown is on for the annual Almond Bowl Car Giveaway. Those who enter have a chance to win a new car, for just $20, and help a good cause.
The fundraiser is for both Chico High School and Pleasant Valley High School’s athletics programs.
This year’s winner will receive a 2020 Nissan Sentra, courtesy of Chico Nissan Hyundai. The drawing for this event takes place Friday, Feb. 19 at 3:30 p.m. at the Chico High School football stadium.
Chico Nissan Hyundai has been a long-time supporter of the local high school athletics programs by donating a car to each of the Almond Bowl football game fundraisers, allowing a member of the community to win a new Nissan or Hyundai every fall.
Frequently the leadership of a community is also the leadership of the fire company – and the fire hall often becomes the center of its community. One such central component of community life will be celebrated next month, as the Pleasant Valley Fire Company marks its 90th year of community service.
