School Shootings in Christian Schools (principal, teacher, private schools, girls)

[Coney]

Other religious schools have had violent attacks, but don't know of any attacks on Christian schools.

Oh, if we are talking about Christian Colleges, there are more. One of my friend's sons was killed at a small Christian College up in Elizabeth City, NC several years ago. There was a shooting and death Seattle Pacific 2 years ago, and there have been more.

Christian high schools? I have no idea, but I would imagine it would be smaller since those attending are in very low numbers compared to PS.

At the same time there are some pretty large Christian schools such as A Beka.

A Beka Academy is a virtual school. It would be unlikely to have a shooting since there is no physical location for the school.

There are a lot more public schools than there are private Christian schools, and a lot more kids in most of those schools.

So as it turns out a local news story made me think of this thread. There was a school shooting at Atlantic Shores Christian School in 1988.

That's not true. There are also A Beka school buildings. I sent my child to one.

As someone else said, they actually are a physical school. that's where I went to graduate.

I suspect that it has more to do with numbers than anything else. How many children go to public schools, and how many go to private? How many public schools are vs. how many Christian schools are there? There are going to be fewer severe behavioral issues at any private school because they can be selective and because young people with severe issues are unlikely to be able to be accommodated at such schools. I doubt it has much to do with the Christian aspect and more to do with the fact that the numbers and behaviors don't add up to the same thing in private vs public schools.
