While 71% of students report incidents of bullying as a problem at their school, a report says that 1 out of 20 students are physically attacked in secondary schools each month. Those in the lower grades reported being in twice as many fights as those in the higher grades. However, there is a lower rate of serious violent crimes in the elementary level than in the middle or high schools. 90% of 4th graders report being victims of bullying.
