Downloadable data files containing student suspension data by race/ethnicity, gender, and program subgroup. Suspension counts, cumulative enrollment, and suspension rate data are provided.

The file includes state, county, district, and school level data. Refer to the file structure for further details regarding the file's contents.

Note: An asterisk (*) appearing in a data field is used to protect student privacy.

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 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 webpage.
