Pluto was officially 'downgraded' to minor planet status on September 13, 2006. It was deemed that Pluto was actually part of the Kuiper belt - and not part of our solar system.
After a vote by the International Astronomical Union.
It was not kicked out of the solar system. It was downgraded to a dwarf planet. Dwarf planets and lesser items, like asteroids and comets, are all part of the solar system. Pluto was downgraded on the 24th of August 2006.
In 2011, Pluto was classified as a "dwarf planet" by the International Astronomical Union. This decision downgraded Pluto from its previous status as the ninth planet in our solar system.

Pluto has been downgraded to dwarf planet. It is still a planet but it is not a planet on the same levels as Mars or Earth, for example.
it WAS technically an outer planet before it got downgraded to a dwarf planet

Charon. It's more of a satellite than a planet, unless you want to consider Pluto/Charon as a double planet. That's a little awkward, since Pluto has been downgraded to a planetoid.
Neptune, now. Pluto has been downgraded to a planetoid. There were times that Pluto would be closer to the sun than Neptune, too. So it would depend when you asked.

Pluto was redesignated as a dwarf planet. All the stars we can see are much bigger than the planets and many of them are bigger than the Sun.
