Charter School Suspension Rates: Way Above Most District .

Charter School Suspension Rates: Way Above MostDistrict AveragesMany charter schools, in particular the larger chains, suspend students at rates well in excess of theirhome-district averages.Charter school parents have gone on the record complaining that their children are repeatedlysuspended, or subject to disproportionate punishments, until the family finally withdraws the child fromthe charter school.The tables compare suspension rates of charter schools located in each of the 32 school districts withtheir district averages. The numbers are for 2011-12, the most recent available.The data come from the New York State Education Dept.’s School Report Card Access database.NYSED does not count in-school suspensions, which may explain the 0% suspension rate reported forsome schools. The department counts each suspended student once, even if that student was suspendedmultiple times during the school year.The charter averages include all elementary, middle and high school charters in that district in order tomake an accurate comparison with the district averages, which include all school levels.
