Research indicates that homeless youths are at higher risk of victimization, yet little is known about school-violence in the context of homeless students. Specifically, research is limited in considering the different subgroups of homeless students, according to the McKinney-Vento Act (non-sheltered, sheltered, doubled-up), and the comparison with non-homeless students. Utilizing a representative sample of the entire State of California (N= 390,028), we conducted bivariate and multivariate analyses to examine differences between the groups in the outcomes of school-discriminatory bullying, school-behavioral victimization and weapon involvement in school. The results highlight that homeless students from all subgroups are at high risk of experiencing school-violence. These findings enhance the need to develop school-based interventions, focused on the different subgroups of homeless students.
