Another key aspect of equity is the learning climate. The data shown on this page include discipline data, as well as a few other data points. The discipline data presented include the percentage of students with one or more discipline referrals, as well as the percentage of students receiving exclusionary discipline. Data are presented at the division level (by ethnicity, student group, and gender), as well as by level (elementary, middle, and high).
In addition, there are data charts showing teacher quality measures at Title I and non-Title I schools (comparing PWCS and the state) as well as charts showing the number of computers at Title I and non-Title I schools per 100 students.
