According to the report, the district expelled or suspended 11 students during the year. This equates to three percent of the 369 students enrolled.

Students were expelled for five incidents with violence without physical injury, four incidents with alcohol and tobacco, one incident with a dangerous weapon, other than a firearm.

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