† Not applicable. ! Interpret data with caution. 1 A student is counted only once, even if suspended more than once during the same school year. 2 Data are based on universe counts of schools and school districts; therefore, these figures do not have standard errors. NOTE: Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. Standard errors appear in parentheses.
