This study analyzes the magnitude of violence reported by elementary and secondary students in Mexico in the document entitled, "Discipline, Violence and the Consumption of Harmful Substances at Elementary and Secondary Schools in Mexico", presented by the National Institute for the Evaluation of Education. The data are compared with international information on the magnitude of observed school violence, and alternative suggestions are made for exploring the problem at school, based on the results given in the analyzed report. Considering the reservations indicated in the article, the comparison identifies countries that report lesser and greater proportions of violence among their students.
