In Florida, and likewise most other states, there is an incentive to under-report criminal activity, especially criminal activity by students. This under-reporting is deliberate, and involves police report falsification. The reason to under-report the crimes is multifold. The politicians and schools want to show the schools are safe, the administrators are competent, and generally be able to claim success when the facts show failure. Same idea in play with most government statistics.

In addition, the racists want the right to perpetrate violence against whitey, with the implied threat that if a certain level of violence is not tolerated, the violence will increase. See "beatings will continue until morale improves," for a lousy parallel.

The Florida report falsification was revealed in the course of the Zimmerman murder trial. Trayvon Martin had a history of vandalism and destruction of property, but those incidents had been watered down.

Anyway, just adding another observation to yours - schools indeed do their best to hold on to every warm body, and they also do their best to present an image that deviates from reality. We even run into that in a rural, reasonably non-violent school district. The administrators lie their asses off.

Absolutely. An administrator’s job is to make things look good to the outside. Don’t make waves. After some poor kid on a school bus was beaten so severely that he had to get medical treatment, it came out that the kid had been bullied repeatedly by his attacker. The parents had gone to the school many times to complain, but nothing happened. When this attack made it into the local news, the principal of the school said, “We don’t have bullying at our school. We have a no tolerance for bullying policy.” And there you have it.
