Direct answer: The daily number of student suicides in the United States is not a fixed figure, because official counts are typically reported annually, not daily, and methodologies vary by data source. However, based on recent U.S. data, suicides among high school students are much rarer than attempts, and deaths occur at a rate that translates to roughly a few dozen to a couple of hundred per day across all U.S. students when aggregated over all ages and school levels. For precise figures, consult the latest CDC Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) and state death certificate data, which provide annual counts and rates by age group and setting, and note that official daily counts are not typically published. Key sources you can check for current numbers:
- CDC Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) results for high school students (suicide deaths and attempts).
- National vital statistics and CDC WISQARS data for suicide deaths by age group and setting.
- Global and country-specific nonprofit analyses may provide context or estimates for student-related suicides in other countries if that is part of a broader comparison.
