| 1 The total includes all students whose parents provided a response about their child’s suspension and expulsion status both on the base-year (2009) questionnaire and on the first follow-up (2012) questionnaire. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2 Socioeconomic status (SES) was measured by a composite score on parental education and occupations, and family income. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 3 A school engagement scale was constructed based on students' responses to questions about how frequently they went to class without homework done, without pencil or paper, without books, or late. Students’ school engagement is considered low if they were in the bottom quarter of the scale distribution, middle if they were in the middle two quarters, and high if they were in the highest quarter. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 4 A school belonging scale was constructed based on the extent to which students agreed or disagreed that they felt safe at school, that they felt proud of being part of the school, that there were always teachers or other adults at school they could talk to if they had a problem, that school was often a waste of time, and that getting good grades was important to them. Students’ sense of school belonging is considered low if they were in the bottom quarter of the scale distribution, middle if they were in the middle two quarters, and high if they were in the highest quarter. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| NOTE: Estimates weighted by W2W1PAR. Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding and survey item nonresponse. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
