It's more than one a week.
The chart isn't up to date for 2024: https://www.cnn.com/us/school-shootings-fast-facts-dg/index.html
That's kind of important since that definition doesn't line up with what most people are thinking about when they hear "school shooting". To provide an example, let's say a drug deal goes bad in the parking lot of a football field after hours and someone gets shot - that's a school shooting. Not as bad as some definitions though, since a street shooting where a stray bullet happens to strike a garage building used to maintenance school buses probably doesn't count under this definition.
Also, I find it interesting that the rates spiked way the hell up for the Biden admin, like 2021 to present is way higher than before.
Also my state has a really low rate despite having extremely lax gun laws (literally allowing open carry to everyone 18+ who can otherwise legally have a gun and concealed carry to everyone 21+ who can otherwise legally have a gun).
