At Risk School – At Risk of Becoming Persistently Dangerous

A California public elementary or secondary school that is considered to be “At Risk of Becoming Persistently Dangerous”, as determined by the number of student expulsions in an academic year, as compared to the school's certified Primary Enrollment Count (LEA view) for that year.

The following criteria are used to determine if a school is considered to be At Risk of Becoming Persistently Dangerous:

• For a school of fewer than 300 enrolled students (per the school's Fall 1 certified Primary Enrollment Count for the academic year - LEA view) the number of student expulsions in that academic year for any of the California Education Code violations delineated as a Persistently Dangerous Offense, is greater than three.

• For a larger school (per the school's Fall 1 certified Primary Enrollment Count for the academic year - LEA view) the number of student expulsions in that academic year for any of the Persistently Dangerous Offense California Education Code violations is greater than one per 100 enrolled students or a fraction thereof.
