  • Indeed, numbers on their own are meaningless. Based on this graph, private schools make up 10% of the enrollments. Public schools are 83% and charter schools make up the remaining 7%.

    I have no idea where the charter schools are counted when it comes to school shootings though. If they are counted as public we get

    Private: 24/10      = 2.4  shootings per percent of enrollment
    Public:  392/(83+7) = 4.36 shootings per percent of enrollment
    

    and if they are counted as private we get

    Private: 24/(10+7) = 1.41 shootings per percent of enrollment
    Public:  392/83    = 4.72 shootings per percent of enrollment
    

    So either way the public schools have more shootings by almost a factor 2 at least.
