Discipline & Safety
Suspensions, expulsions, and safety-related incidents reported to the U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights.
Source: U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights — CRDC 2021. Rates are computed against current enrollment. CRDC is collected biennially; some indicators (expulsions, bullying, law referrals) were not available in the most recent release.
California state discipline record (2024-25)
Suspensions and expulsions reported to the California Department of Education. CDE publishes this every year, so it is a newer and more complete picture than the federal CRDC collection shown above, which is gathered every two years.

7 further student groups are withheld by CDE because the group is too small to report without identifying individual students.
Source: California Department of Education, suspension and expulsion report, 2024-25. Rates are the share of cumulative enrollment (every student enrolled at any point in the year) suspended or expelled at least once, which is why they differ from the CRDC counts above.
What these numbers mean
- In-school suspension removes a student from class but keeps them on campus.
- Out-of-school suspension removes a student from school entirely, typically 1–10 days.
- Expulsion is the most severe — students are removed from their district, usually for the rest of the year or longer.
- Law enforcement referrals mean a police officer was called; an arrest means the student was taken into custody.
