| † Not applicable. # Rounds to zero. !Interpret data with caution. 1 Each student is counted only once, regardless of the number of suspensions. 2 State/jurisdiction has 25 or fewer school districts; therefore, data are based on universe count (instead of samples). 3 State has only one school district, but is sampled within the district. NOTE: Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic origin. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. Standard errors appear in parentheses.
