It is a lot in a sense that every number above zero is a lot, but really numbers aren’t even comparable.
Overall, in UK from 2012 to 2022 there was reported 36k cases of violence in school. Meanwhile, in US 443,990 teenagers fell victim to school violence in 2022 alone
a tangential point to go over, but cases of violence compared to victims is different… as in the us, with guns, one case of violence would have a lot more victims that a stabbing…
so it would be better to compare incidents of violence involving a deadly weapon, especially more indiscriminate mass attacks instead of just fights… and then adjust for population….
still probably not comparable but a lot closer….
and, i suspect, the bullying is a lot less over there and the school staff is a lot more involved in stopping it…. but that’s just a guess.
