bullying

Bullying is more common in elementary schools than parents might expect. About one in four children report being bullied at school, and the negative effects can follow them for years: shaping their confidence and social skills.

Statewide, 75.2% of students surveyed agreed or strongly agreed that "adults at my school prevent bullying from happening." Despite the relatively high percentage, 67.5% of students in Chester County were confident in school staff bully suppression. And 68.5% of students in Richland Two agreed with the prompt.
