Eleven million high school students (80 percent) and five million middle school students (44 percent) attend drug-infested schools,

meaning that they have personally witnessed illegal drug use, illegal drug dealing, illegal drug possession, students drunk and/or students high on the grounds of their school according to the National Survey of American Attitudes on Substance Abuse XII: Teens and Parents, the twelfth annual back-to-school survey conducted by The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse (CASA) at Columbia University.

For the first time, this year CASA sought to survey in depth the drug situation in America’s schools.  The survey revealed that at least once a week on their school grounds, 31 percent of high school students (more than four million) and nine percent of middle school students (more than one million) see illegal drugs used, sold, students high and/or drunk.  At least weekly, 17 percent of all high and middle school students (4.4 million) personally see classmates high on drugs at school.
