5 REPORT OF SUSPENSIONS, EXPULSIONS, DROPOUTS AND ATTENDANCE Executive Summary Suspensions. During the school year, the Charleston County School District had a total of 17,701 suspensions. Total suspensions districtwide increased by 7% (1,224) from The number of students suspended at least one time during the school year was 7,194, which was 159 more than were suspended in the school year. The percent of students suspended at least once was 17.5% in as compared to 17.0% in Districtwide, 3,411 students received one out-of school suspension during the school year, 1,398 students received two out-of-school suspensions, and 2,385 students received three or more. Students with more than two suspensions (n=2,385) represent 6% of the total number of students enrolled in the District. This 6% of the student population was responsible for 65% of offenses that resulted in outof-school suspensions (11,494 of the 17,701 instances of out-of-school suspensions in ). Overall, suspended students averaged 2.46 suspensions each in , which was slightly higher than the average reported for the previous two school years (2.32 in and 2.34 in ). Suspended students lost a total of 33,207 days from school in compared to 33,132 days lost to suspensions in , which was an increase of 75 days or 2.3%. In comparison to , there were more suspensions overall and students averaged slightly more suspensions; however, the average number of days per suspension decreased. Suspension rates 1 for the current year and two previous years are listed below by level. A comparison of suspension rates over the past three years shows a slight decline at the elementary level. Middle school rates have steadily increased, while high school suspension rates have steadily declined over the past three years. Overall, the district suspension rate has remained relatively stable. Students Suspended at Least Once as Level Enrollment Level Elementary (Grades K-5) 5.6% 5.1% 5.1% Middle (Grades 6-8) 28.2% 28.9% 34.2% High (Grades 9-12) 27.1% 25.9% 24.7% County (Grades K-12) 17.4% 17.0% 17.5% Suspensions that were due to physical violence or criminal offenses 2 were identified because these are reported in the state school report cards and are serious events in our schools. For the school year, students in Charleston County were suspended for 4,356 criminal or violent offenses (a 45% increase from ). The number of suspensions due to physical violence or criminal offenses represents almost 25% of all reasons given for suspension, an increase from the previous year. 1 Defined as the number of students suspended at least once divided by the school s 180-day Average Daily Membership (ADM). In this report, the phrases percent of students suspended at least once and suspension rate are synonymous. 2 Defined and discussed further in report. iii iii

7 Charleston County School District 180-Day Report of Suspensions, Expulsions, Dropouts and Attendance District Summary The information presented below and in the attached tables provides data on student attendance for , as well as those factors that affect attendance: suspensions, expulsions, and dropouts. Suspensions This report summarizes suspensions, days lost due to suspensions, and reasons why students were suspended during the school year. The total number of suspensions per school and grade level and the total number of students who were suspended at least one time are included in the report. Below is a summary of district level suspension data. Students Suspended at Least One Time Days Lost Due to Suspensions Total Avg. Number Number of Suspensions 1 Total Number 2 Population (Rate) 3 Total Number of Days Absent per Suspension District (K-12) 17,701 7, % 33, Elementary (K-5) 1, % 2, Middle (6-8) 9,267 3, % 18, High (9-12) 6,811 3, % 12, During the school year, 17,701 suspensions were issued for 7,194 students, or 17.5% of the total district population, K-12. Middle and high schools suspended a greater percentage of their student population than did elementary schools. In addition to generating more days per suspension, middle school students continued to produce more suspensions than elementary or high school students. Ninth grade had the highest number of students suspended at least once (1,412), the highest number of suspensions (3,746), and the most days lost due to suspensions (6,980). Eighth grade had the highest suspension rate, with 35.1% of the population suspended at least once. The overall high school suspension rate of 25% masks the wide variety between grades: in ninth grade, 34% of students were suspended at least one time, while the twelfth grade rate was 17%. Table 1 (page 6) contains suspension data for students by grade level. Tables 2-4 (pages 7-26) and Figures 1A-1C (pages 52-54) contain suspension data by school for elementary, middle, and high school grades, respectively, including analysis by gender and race/ethnicity, as well as rates for the past three school years. A comparison of the percent of students suspended over the past three years shows declines in elementary and high school suspensions, while the middle school rate has increased by about 6% over the past two years. 1 Includes some students suspended more than one time during the school year. 2 District Total does not equal the sum of the three levels (E, M, H) as students suspended at more than one school are duplicated in grade level counts, but not in overall District Total. 3 Suspension Rate is defined the percentage of the school s population (180-day Average Daily Membership) suspended at least once during the school year. 1 1

8 With the exception of the Special Day School Program, St. James-Santee had the highest suspension rate (28.6%) among elementary schools in Other schools with grades K-5 where over 15% of students were suspended at least once were: Mt. Zion (17.9%), West Ashley Intermediate (17.7%), and Mitchell (15.6%). Morningside had the highest suspension rate for the middle school grades (72.7% of the students suspended at least once), the highest total number of suspensions (1,976), and the highest total days absent due to suspension (4,258). Excluding the Special Day School Program, other middle schools where over half the students were suspended at least once were: Burke Middle (70.2%), Brentwood (63.0%), Military Magnet (58.6%), and Alice Birney (56.1%). Elementary schools with 6 th grades where over half of the 6 th grade population was suspended at least once include: Memminger (55.0%) and Fraser (51.2%). Baptist Hill and North Charleston High had the highest suspension rates for high school grades, with about half of their students suspended at least one time (50.6% and 49.2%, respectively). Excluding the Special Day School Program, other high schools with suspension rates over 40% include: Lincoln (46.2%), Stall (46.1%), and St. John s (43.4%). Academic Magnet had the lowest suspension rate (2.2%). North Charleston had the highest number of suspensions (1,473), followed by Stall (1,298). When comparing suspension rates across racial/ethnic groups, black students are suspended at a rate over three times that of white students at all levels (8.9% versus 1.1% at the elementary level, 52.9% versus 10.5% at the middle school level, and 39.1% versus 9.8% at the high school level). Although the overall Hispanic student population is much smaller than the black or white ethnicity groups, suspension rates for Hispanic students are nearly three times that of white students in grades 6-8 and two times the rate in grades K-5 and At all levels, male students tend to be suspended at higher rates than female students. In elementary grades, the male to female ratio approximates 3:1. This difference, however, declines notably during middle school. Both the middle and high school grades male to female suspension ratio was less than 2:1. Reasons for Suspensions Information regarding the reasons for each suspension is captured in the student database and is summarized below. Reasons for suspensions are consolidated and categorized to reflect the behavior of the student and the severity of the offense. Reasons for suspension are divided into two major groupings: 1) physical violence and criminal offenses and 2) all other offenses. This distinction reflects the grouping of offenses included on the state s School Report Card. The following incidents occurring on school grounds, on school transportation, or at school sponsored events are considered physical violence and/or criminal offenses: Arson Assault, Aggravated Assault, Simple Counterfeit/Forgery Disturbing School (bomb threats, false fire alarms, disorderly conduct) Drug Violations Extortion/Blackmail/Fraud Gambling Intimidation Kidnap/Abduction Larceny/Theft Liquor Law Violation Sex Offenses Trespassing Vandalism Weapons Possession Other Criminal Offenses 2 2

9 Physical Violence and Criminal Offenses. During the school year, students in Charleston County were suspended for 4,356 criminal or violent offenses. This number represents about 25% of all reasons given for suspending students. The majority of physical violence and criminal offenses were simple assault (1,903), disturbing school (1,153). Other physical violence or criminal offense reasons for which more than 100 suspensions occurred were as follows: intimidation (596), larceny/theft (132), sex offenses (117), drug violations (115), and weapons possession (102). Other Offenses. Seventy-five percent (13,345) of all suspensions in were due to offenses that were not physical violence/criminal. Most frequently reported offenses include: disturbing class (2,987), disrespect (1,955), and disobedience (1,955). Other highly reported offenses include misconduct (1,696) and failure to attend school/class (1,689). Table 5A (page 27) summarizes the reasons for suspension during the school year. All schools and all grades are included in this table. Table 5B and 5C (pages 28-29) contain the number and percentage of suspensions due to physical violence and criminal offenses by school. Dropouts Approximately 2.98% of the total countywide student population in grades 7-12 (562 students) dropped out during the school year. This represents an 11% decrease (68 students) from the previous year. At the middle school level, the dropout rate (0.44%) and the number of dropouts (29) remain relatively unchanged from to Morningside accounts for 11 of the 29 dropouts in grades 7 and 8. The high school dropout rate (4.37%) was a slight decrease from the previous school year (4.99%), and the number of dropouts in grades 9-12 decreased 11% (68 students) from In , over 41% of all dropouts were in ninth grade, another 23% were tenth graders. North Charleston, Burke, and Clark had the highest dropout rates (with the exception of Youth Build Charter and the Special Day School Program). While black students tend to drop out at higher rates than white students in both middle and high school, the difference between the two groups increases during high school grades. The dropout rate for black students in high school (6.67%) was nearly four times that of white high school students (1.80%). Overall, black students make up 56% of the total grade 7-12 enrollment, while they account for 78% of the district s dropouts. While the Hispanic student enrollment was much smaller than that of the black and white students, their dropout rate exceeds both groups in middle and high school. At the middle school level, the female dropout rate (0.6%) was higher than the dropout rate of male students (0.3%). The high school dropout rate for males was nearly 6%, whereas the female rate was over 3%. Tables 6A-6G (pages 30-36) and Figures 2A-2C (pages 55-57) provide dropout data, including analysis by school, rates for the past three school years, as well as analyses by gender and race/ethnicity. 3 3

10 Expulsions Districtwide, there were 173 expulsions during the school year. Total expulsions districtwide decreased by nearly 44% (135 students) from Table 7A (page 37) contains expulsion data by grade level. Ninth grade continues to have the highest number of expulsions (47 students). The next highest expulsion numbers were in grades eight, seven, and ten. Tables 7B-7H (pages 38-47) and Figures 3A-3C (pages 58-60) provide expulsion data by school, including analysis by gender and race/ethnicity, as well as rates for the past three school years. There was one expulsion from grade one at the elementary school level. There were 90 expulsions from grades six through eight, which was equivalent to 0.9% of the middle school population and represents a decrease of 56 expulsions from Burke Middle had the highest expulsion rate among middle schools (3.10%) followed by Alice Birney (2.55%), Morningside (2.44%), and West Ashley Middle (2.0%). Over the past three years, the expulsion rate from high school grades has decreased from 1.69% in (204 expulsions) to 0.67% in (82 expulsions). Stall, James Island Charter High, and West Ashley High reported the highest numbers of expulsions. When comparing expulsion rates of racial/ethnic groups, the expulsion rate for black students is significantly higher than that of white students (1.52% versus 0.18% at middle school level and 0.99% versus 0.44% at the high school level). Although the middle school Hispanic expulsion rate was higher than that of white students, the high school expulsion rate for Hispanic students was 0%. When comparing expulsion rates by gender, three times as many male students are expelled than female students. These data indicate that the group most at-risk for expulsions is male black students. Reasons for Expulsion Physical Violence and Criminal Offenses. During the school year, approximately 53% of all expulsions were due to physical violence and criminal offenses. The majority of physical violence and criminal offenses were assault (33) and drug violations (25). Other reasons for which more than 5 of Charleston County s students were expelled for physical violence and/or criminal offenses were as follows: disturbing school (14) and intimidation (7). Other Offenses. During , 47% of expulsions were due to other offenses (82 expulsions). Most frequently reported offenses were consistent offender (45) and breaking rules (34). Consistent offenders often accumulate discipline referrals for multiple, varied offenses culminating in an expulsion. Table 7I (page 48) summarizes the reasons for expulsion during the school year. All schools and all grades are included in this expulsion data. Table 7J (page 49) contains the number and percentage of expulsions due to physical violence and criminal offenses for schools that reported one or more expulsion. 4 4

11 Attendance The districtwide Average Daily Attendance Rate (ADA%) for was 95.2%, which was nearly the same as the ADA% for the previous year. With the exception of Youth Build Charter (with an attendance rate of 66.4%), attendance rates for individual schools ranged from 89.4% to 99.6%. Table 8 (pages 50-51) provides the 180-Day Average Daily Attendance percentage (ADA%), or attendance rate, by school from to The Average Daily Attendance (ADA) is the aggregate number of days present divided by the number of days the school is in session. The ADA% is the ADA divided by the Average Daily Membership (ADM). 5 5
