504 plans because we do not have a district-wide database of students with 504 plans. The risk ratio indicates <br /> the likelihood of a demographic group receiving an ODR relative to the likelihood for a comparison group <br /> (White students). Risk ratios are used to determine over or underrepresentation: <br /> • Risk Ratio = 1.0 is indicative of equal risk <br /> • Risk Ratio > 1.0 is indicative of overrepresentation <br /> • Risk Ratio < 1.0 is indicative of underrepresentation <br /> Below is a summary of decreases in ODRs for African American and Latino students (the two demographics <br /> identified as target areas during the fall data presentation) and for White students (the identified comparison <br /> group): <br /> • African American Students <br /> o Elementary—25% decrease <br /> o Middle— 12%increase <br /> o High—39% decrease <br /> • Latino Students <br /> o Elementary—47%increase <br /> o Middle—29% decrease <br /> o High—43% decrease <br /> • White Students <br /> o Elementary—6% decrease <br /> o Middle— 13% decrease <br /> o High—50% decrease <br /> Although high school dramatically decreased the number of African American students with at least one ODR, <br /> the significant increases in risk ratio is directly related the disproportionate decreases between African <br /> American and White students. <br /> Table 7 shows the top three problem behaviors by level identified in the 2015-2016 first semester data and <br /> compares it to fee current year. All three levels show significant decreases in at least one of the identified <br /> problem behaviors and middle and high schools were able to eliminate one of the top problem behaviors from <br /> the list. <br /> 24 2 of 6 <br />
