This study from the Learning Policy Institute examines the effects of restorative practices on student outcomes in California. The author notes that many schools have adopted restorative practices in an effort to improve school climate and student outcomes while reducing exclusionary discipline. Using 6 years of student survey data and California administrative data, this study examines the use of restorative practices in 485 middle schools and their impact on school and student outcomes. Analyses find that exposure to restorative practices improves students’ academic achievement and reduces suspension rates and disparities. Schools that increased use of restorative practices saw a decrease in schoolwide challenging behaviors, substance abuse, and student mental health challenges, as well as improved school climate and student achievement. Students of all racial and ethnic backgrounds benefited from restorative practice exposure, with Black and Latino/a students benefiting the most.
