Top 25 School Districts with Highest Rate of Suspensions, Expulsions

Getting suspended or expelled from school are usually top punishments for misbehaving students, but some Illinois school districts use them more often than others.

Searching the Illinois State Board of Education’s 2015 End of Year Discipline Report, we have put together a list of the 25 school districts that most often use out-of-school suspensions and expulsions.

To avoid penalizing large districts that generally have more suspensions and expulsions due to high enrollment, we found the suspension and expulsion rates by dividing the number of incidents by district enrollment from the ISBE’s 2014-2015 Illinois Report Card.

Here are the Top 25 public school districts in Illinois with the highest rate of suspensions and expulsions, according to ISBE.
