   What you seeWithheld by the publisher

   The publisher suppressed this cell (too few students to report). The site stores it as suppressed and never as zero.

   lower is better (percentiles are flipped so a high percentile is always good)

   How it was computedvalue = 100 − published '% with Zero OS Suspensions'

   1. Read the district's suspensions CSV; keep directory schools and mapped subgroups.
   2. Derive the share with any suspension as 100 minus the published zero-suspension share.

   Note: stored percentiles are computed by a batch script after loads; a difference from the live reconstruction means a newer load changed the comparison set and the batch has not been re-run.

   Evidence: metric tree: OSS — % students with any suspension

   To confirm you have the same file: download it from the URL above, then run shasum -a 256 <downloaded file> Copy command — the output should equal the hash above. If the publisher has since replaced the file, the hashes will differ, which is itself useful to know.

   Assumptions & caveatsAssumptions and caveats

   • The published percentages for 0/1/2/3 suspensions are of the same denominator ('Total Students (Yearly)').

   • District-run schools only.

   Algorithms involved: Suspension shares derived from the published 0/1/2/3 columns, Citywide and peer-group percentiles, Peer groups: 40 nearest neighbors on demographics
