Worst School Districts

The worst schools all had racial disparity ratio over 100. That is, students in the racial group, with the highest exclusion rate, are at least 100 times more likely to be excluded than other students. For instance, Fort Loramie Local had an 800 racial disparity ratio. That means that Multiracial students were 800 times more likely to be excluded than students in other racial groups. Of the 20 districts, 85% were public districts. Of the public districts, 60% (17) occurred in rural districts (type 1 and Type 2). In 10 districts, Blacks were the racial group with the highest exclusion rate. Asian and whites only had one district, respectively, where they were the racial group with the highest exclusion rate. (NOTE: For some school districts this is an approximation of the racial disparity ratio since they report enrollment as "less than10" and exclusions as "less than 10". In those circumstances, we used "5" as the enrollment number and "3" as the exclusion number. Please check with your school district for more accurate information)
