***** State roll excludes students from private schools and The Correspondence School, adult students (aged 19 or over), IFP and NZAID scholarship students.
The stand-down and suspension rates (for January–December 2007) have been age standardised by artificially giving each region the same age distribution. The age distributions of students in each region have been standardised to (or weighted by) the set of 2007 age-specific stand-down/suspension rates for all New Zealand students.
As stand-down and suspension rates are highest for students aged 13 to 15, standardising for age will remove differences due to one region having a younger or older population. As such, the standardised rate is an artificial measure, but it does provide an estimate of how groups, or overall rates by year, might more fairly compare if they had the same age distribution.

* State roll excludes students from private schools and The Correspondence School, adult students (aged 19 or over), IFP and NZAID scholarship students.
** The stand-down and suspension rates have been age standardised by artificially giving each subgroup the same age distribution. The age distributions of students in each subgroup have been standardised to (or weighted by) the set of 2007 age-specific stand-down/suspension rates for all New Zealand students.
As stand-down and suspension rates are highest for students aged 13 to 15, standardising for age will remove differences due to one group having a younger or older population. As such, the standardised rate is an artificial measure, but it does provide an estimate of how groups, or overall rates by year, might more fairly compare if they had the same age distribution.
