Synthesis of rate reporting across the 20 included studies. The review states "Annual rates of expulsion ranged from 6 per 1,000 children enrolled (center-based care in Hoover et al., 2012) to 43.3 per 1,000 children enrolled (Vinh et al., 2016)"; suspension rates were reported by only one study (26.5 per 1,000).
"When total enrollment rates for programs were available, six studies reported exclusion rates per 1,000 children enrolled. Annual rates of expulsion ranged from 6 per 1,000 children enrolled (center-based care in Hoover et al., 2012) to 43.3 per 1,000 children enrolled (Vinh et al., 2016)."
