Infographic: School Suspensions and Expulsions

How do suspensions and expulsions differ for students from various racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds?

Using data from the Indicators of School Crime and Safety 2015 report, we explore suspension and expulsion percentages for students who started high school in 2009.

Among students who started high school in 2009, a higher percentage of Black students than of Hispanic, White, and Asian students had ever been suspended or expelled by 2012.
