According to the report, the district expelled or suspended 7 students during the year. This equates to less than one percent of the 3,364 students enrolled.

Students were expelled for two incidents with alcohol and tobacco.

The district reported that most in-school suspensions were given for unspecified reasons, of which there were five. There were two incidents of tobacco. For four incidents, students were suspended for one to two days.

Illinois ranks as the 5th state in terms of the overall number of schools and student enrollment among all states.

Illinois lawmakers enacted laws in 2015 to restrict schools from disciplining a disproportionate number of Black and minority students out of school and into the criminal justice system, often for minor misbehavior.
