Students said the incident took place in the school's eighth-grade wing.
According to the school district, those involved are in police custody.
"I saw a student walking like this (holding his side)," one student said. "I assume that's the one that got stabbed. I came back from breakfast over to the eighth-grade wing where I saw a big crowd. The fight had just finished, and then the kid was walking from there this way, so I assume he was going to the nurse."
The school district said that an early dismissal took place after the incident.
