Part 1: Data Analysis
Office Referrals Upon studying the data, three major trends, or patterns, within the progression of the discipline incidents over the course of the three years stood out. The first major trend, or pattern, noticed within the progression of the discipline incidents over the three years is that of black males being the overall highest rates of actions shown by ethnicity. Black males took the highest percentages overall, in all three years, in the categories of disciplinary actions for that of bullying, disorderly conduct, explosives, insubordination, knives on campus, other, staff assault, and student assaults. Black males had the highest disciplinary actions in every category except tobacco (black female) and vandalism …show more content…
Insubordination maintains itself as the highest disciplinary incident per 100 students attending the school from 2004 to 2007, though it has seen a steady …show more content…
The first trend noticed was that of the high percentage of black males with office referrals per category. Black males do have the highest enrollment of all races and ethnicities, which aides in them having the higher disciplinary action rates. Probability states that if I have 100 pieces of candy in a bag and almost 24 of them are red, I will have a higher rate of picking the red piece of candy. Granted, these are people and not candy, but it does beg the question of if there were less black males would there be less disciplinary action needed? Per 100 students in every category, except for two (‘expelled for weapons’ in which they were tied with white males at 0.09%, and ‘other’ in which they were below white males with a rate of 0.09%) for the three years, black males averaged the highest percentages of disciplinary referrals. The second noticeable trend in the data analysis is that Hispanic females maintain the lowest (near zero percent) rate of all genders and ethnicities as far as disciplinary issues are concerned. The highest averages of Hispanic females are in the categories of corporal punishment, with a 1.12% rate, and in the category of in-school suspension, with a rate of 1.96%. Lastly, the noticeable trend for the Summary of Discipline Actions on Office Referrals data analysis is steady rise in out-of-school suspensions while
