This list of school massacres by death toll contains cases which occurred in kindergartens, grade schools, universities, and any buildings affiliated with the former. Cases where the perpetrator was a school employee and their victims primarily colleagues were omitted from this list, and instead included on the list of workplace killings.

School massacres are defined as incidents which involve at least two deaths, excluding the death of the perpetrator (where relevant).

All abbreviations used in the table are explained below.

Rampage killers

This section of the list of rampage killers contains those cases that occurred at pre-schools, schools and universities, as well as their affiliated buildings, and are considered lone wolf attacks. If the perpetrator was a member of the school staff and the victims primarily his colleagues, the case is not included here, but it is added to the list of rampage workplace killings.

A rampage killer has been defined as follows:

A rampage involves the (attempted) killing of multiple persons least partly in public space by a single physically present perpetrator using (potentially) deadly weapons in a single event without any cooling-off period.[71]

This list should contain every case with at least one of the following features:

  • Rampage killings with 6 or more dead
  • Rampage killings with at least 4 people killed and least ten victims overall (dead plus injured)
  • Rampage killings with at least 2 people killed and least 12 victims overall (dead plus injured)
  • An incidence of rampage killing shall not be included in this list if it does not include at least two people killed.
  • In all cases the perpetrator is not counted among those killed or injured.
