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.
They last so much longer than the best before date.
