I got attacked and mugged ( need help)
Yesterday at 2pm( Houston,Tx) i was walking to my car which was parked two blocks away from school. I had my jacket on and i was unaware of my surroundings. I heard a slide from behind but I ignored it, and all of a sudden something smashed the back of my head. I fell to the ground and looked up, and saw a kid with a metal rod. I didn't know what was going on, and then he had 4 friends who started beating me up. All I could do was protect myself. Few seconds later they left but they took away my backpack and ipod. My backpack had a laptop in it. I was bleeding very bad on my cheek and the back of my head, so i went to the hospital and have gotten stitches etc.
The problem is that I was not actually leaving school, I was skipping it. It is a complicated situation because my teachers let me go because I am a senior taking freshman classes, so they let me go. On an official note, It will be regarded as skipping.
I contacted the police they told me that I needed to report to the local school police. If I tell them the school administration will know I was skipping, and i am scared that they might say that I am not their responsibility hence they will give me detention and not pursue the case. I just wanted an opinion if it was worth it to report to the police, even if its cost something bad. I just dont want a crime like this to go un-noticed because I got hurt severely by random people. Any advice would be grateful.

There's no way. If you wern't on school property, the local police wouldn't tell you to report it to the "school police". What the hell is the school police: security?
If you are supposed to be at work, for example, and you call in sick. Then you go to Starbucks and get your ass kicked in the parking lot, your boss who excused you from work wouldn't be held liable.
