Fight videos and school violence shock Everett district parents

Throughout the year, the seventh grader would start to open up to her mom about fights at Evergreen Middle School — during lunch, passing periods and especially recess. The violence became so frequent, the middle schooler was worried for her safety.

“She would tell me there was one to two fights a day at school,” Bustad said. “I almost kind of thought it was a pre-teen exaggeration in a way.”

In May, with five weeks of school left, Bustad decided to file a public records request to see how many fights had been documented at the middle school.

Evergreen proved the most violent middle school in the district, recording the most fights, 168 from September to May, and the most fights resulting in serious injuries, 12.

1. I think maybe four or five serious fights a year at the most when I was in junior high.

High school too. There were other quickly broken up scraps I'm not counting. I mean when everyone knew it was happening. Usually, some beef where a guy would challenge another and it would be after school.
