Definition: Number of K-12 public school students suspended during the school year, per 1,000 students (e.g., in 2020, 24.5 per 1,000 California students were suspended from school).
Data Source: California Dept. of Education, Suspension Data (May 2021).
Footnote: Years presented are the final year of a school year (e.g., 2019-20 is shown as 2020). Students suspended in more than one school district within a county are counted in each district but only once at the county level; students suspended in more than one county are counted in each county but only once in California totals. The notation S refers to rates that have been suppressed because fewer than 20 students were suspended from school and to numbers and associated rates that have been suppressed to protect student privacy. N/A means that data are not available.
