PTA income primarily reflects parent wealth, not school quality. Some schools have very active PTAs while others raise very little.
Discipline (Suspensions)
| Year | Removals | Principal Susp. | Supt. Susp. | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024-25 | 25 | 29 | Redacted | Redacted |
| 2023-24 | Redacted | 36 | Redacted | 41 |
| 2022-23 | Redacted | 33 | Redacted | 37 |
"Redacted" indicates small counts (1-5) suppressed for privacy. Suspension data reflects systemic patterns as much as individual school decisions. Always consider ENI context.

- Many schools change category year-over-year
