Expulsion Data
Downloadable data files containing student expulsion data by ethnicity, gender, and student group. Expulsion counts, cumulative enrollment, and expulsion rate data are provided.The files include state, county, district, and school level data. Please refer to the file structure for further details regarding the file's contents. Data are not included for districts and independently reporting charter schools (IRCs) that did not certify their California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System (CALPADS) End-of-Year 1 Discipline submission.
Note: To protect student privacy, data are suppressed (*) on the Discipline Reports if the cell size within a selected student population (cumulative enrollment) is 10 or less. Additionally, on the Race/Ethnicity reports, "Not Reported" is suppressed, regardless of actual cell size, if the student population for one or more other race/ethnicity groups is suppressed.
PLEASE BE ADVISED: The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in statewide physical school closures in February/March 2020 followed by the widespread implementation of distance learning during the 2020–21 academic year. The California Department of Education (CDE) recommends caution when comparing discipline data across academic years. For more information about the impact of COVID-19 on data reporting, please visit the CDE COVID-19 and Data Reporting web page.
