2: Grades 7 and 8 have the highest instances of out-of-school suspensions (See Chart 2). After Grade 7, the instances decrease drastically as the grade level increases (See Chart 2). The report counts 103 incidents with students at Westinghouse, but reports 436 out-of-school-suspensions (See Chart 2). Clearly there is data missing: there are over 300 incidences where a student received an out-of-school suspension sanction without a record being taken of the offence. This is an issue because it is unclear whether the sanction was given fairly or not. There is a possibility that these sanctions were given out liberally and undeservingly. The infraction labeled “conduct” is the most frequent offense by each grade level and overall (See Chart 2). The Report does not specify the exact nature of the offense. Violence was the second-most frequent reason why a student received an out-of-school suspension, aligning with the relatively high amount of fights reported in Chart 1 (See Chart 2).https://iamhomewood.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/image4.jpegimageChart 3: According to Pittsburgh Public Schools, truancy is the excessive number of unexcused absences. The grade level with the highest amount of truant students is 10, followed by 9 and 11 (See Chart 3). Grades 12 and 6-8 have a significantly lower amount of truant students (See Chart 3).https://iamhomewood.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/image3.jpegimageChart 3: Out-of-school Suspensions with Infractionhttps://iamhomewood.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/image2.jpegimagehttps://iamhomewood.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/image1.jpegimageChart 2: Out-of-school Suspension by Gradehttps://iamhomewood.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/image.jpegimageChart 1: All disciplinary data is taken directly from the Safe Schools - School Report of Westinghouse Academy.
