The number of suspensions statewide have dropped consecutively for five years; find out what the low is now, and check out some local data.

A total of 47 students were suspended from Port Washington High School in the 2011-12 school year, a number that fits right in with statewide averages.

The high school's suspensions equals 5.4 percent of the number of kids enrolled at the school; statewide, 5.21 percent of students were suspended at least once during the year. This is the lowest percentage since data was kept beginning in 1998-99, and the figure has dropped five consecutive years.
