| Abstract | This analysis describes and analyzes disproportionality among Indiana's minority students. Specifically, it shows that: (1) Indiana's two largest minority groups are overrepresented in all four locale designations, with the greatest disproportionality occurring in suburban schools for both out-of-school suspension and expulsion; (2) Disproportionality is the greatest for both minority groups in the disciplinary categories of Disruptive Behavior and Other for out-of-school suspension and expulsion; (3) The highest rates of out-of-school suspension occur at the secondary school level for all racial categories; (4) Disproportionality in out-of-school suspension is the highest in elementary schools for African Americans and in high schools for Hispanics; (5) The rate of, and disproportionality in expulsion for both African Americans and Hispanics is the highest at the high school level; and (6) The relationship between disciplinary use and achievement holds for racial groups independently, and is strongest for African Americans. The finding that two of Indiana's minority groups are more likely to be suspended out of school and expelled at higher rates in urban, suburban, town, and rural schools is consistent with previous research in the area of racial disparities in school discipline. The fact that the greatest disproportionality by locale is within suburban schools is noteworthy. While previous analyses found the highest overall out-of-school suspension rate was in urban schools, the results of this analysis suggest that racial differences in use are the greatest in suburban areas, especially for African Americans. Since suburban schools have among the lowest rates of students who qualify for free and reduced lunch, these results cast doubt on the notion that disproportionality in the administration of school discipline is primarily due to poverty.
