    This document analyzes behavior and suspension data from the 2016-17 school year. It finds that black students and American Indian students are suspended at disproportionately high rates compared to their representation in the total student population. Students who receive free or reduced lunch and special education services are also suspended at disproportionately high rates. Additionally, male students and black male students specifically are suspended more often than would be expected based on their percentages of the student population. Appendices provide additional graphs and a list of behaviors resulting in suspensions.

    Running head: BEHAVIOR DATA ANALYSIS 1

    Switch Week Project: Behavior/Suspension Data Analysis

    Suspensions and Referrals by Ethnicity. The tables below shows the number of students and

    percentage of the total population by ethnicity and the number of suspensions/referrals and percentage of

    the total suspensions/referrals by ethnicity. In the 2016-17 school year 63.3% of suspensions were black

    students (African and/or African American), while only 30.6% of the total student population are black.

    Similarly, 13.3% of suspensions in the 2016-17 school year were American Indian, while only 3.8% of the

    student population is American Indian. This suggests that there is disproportionality in the suspensions of

    Black and American Indian students. Disproportionality Pie Chart 1 (page 2) shows the disproportionality

    of the suspensions.

    Suspensions by Free or Reduced Lunch Status and Special Education. The first table below

    shows the number of students suspended based on FRL status and the second table shows the number of

    students suspended who receive Special Education services. In 2016-17, 93.30% of suspensions were

    students who receive FRL, while 88.10% of the total student population receives FRL. Similarly, in the

    2016-17 school year 40% of suspensions were given to students who receive Special Education services,

    while only 13.7% of the student population receives Special Education services. Disproportionality Pie

    Chart 2 (page 3) shows the disproportionality of suspensions

    Suspensions by Gender and Ethnicity and Gender Combined. Table 3 (page 4) shows the

    number of students suspended based on gender and the second table shows the number of students

    suspended with gender and ethnicity combined. In the 2016 17 school year, 70% of suspensions were

    male students, while only 46.2% of the student population is male. Similarly, in the 2016 17 school year,

    46.7% of suspensions were Black males, while only 14.4% of students are Black males (seen on

    disproportionality pie chart). Disproportionality Pie Chart 3 (page 4) shows the disproportionality of

    suspensions.

    Additional line and bar graphs show the number, percentage and disproportionality of suspensions

    can be found at the end of this report in appendix A and B. A list of behaviors resulting in suspensions can

    be found in appendix C.

    The above graph shows the break down of suspensions for students eligible for FRL and student who
    receive Special Education services.

    The above graph shoes the break down of suspensions between male and female students.
