Naperville Community School District 203’s deep dive into disciplinary data

An extensive report presented at Naperville School District 203’s board of education meeting delved into student discipline data within the past year. The information presented was mixed, with fewer suspensions prescribed, but continued gaps between different student groups.

In recent years, District 203 officials have announced efforts to avoid suspensions, whenever possible, so students are still able to attend classes and take part in activities while undergoing corrective actions.

According to District 203 administrators, data from the past school year indicated a 33% decrease in overall in-school suspensions, compared to 2021-22. Out-of-school suspensions in the same time period declined 29%. Indexed discipline data indicated Black students still had the highest number of suspensions, followed by students with disabilities.
