Expulsion Rate

State: California

Measurement Period: 2022-2023

This indicator shows students (grades K-12) who were expelled from school.

Why is this important?

Expulsions are a form of severe disciplinary action that results in permanent removal of a student from their regular educational setting. Expulsions generally occur when a student violates serious school rules or policies. When a student is expelled, schools may not be obligated to continue working with the student, which may keep the student from receiving needed educational or counseling services. Data suggests that students who are expelled are more likely to be involved in the juvenile justice system, drop out of high school, and earn considerably less over the course of their career than students who were never expelled. Effective strategies for reducing expulsion rates in school include: early intervention for preschool children, early identification of and intervention strategies for children at risk for school difficulties, and annual implementation of age-appropriate codes of conducts.
