| Year | Beginning Balance | Income | Expenses | Ending Balance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024-25 | $273 | $1,393 | $1,116 | $277 |
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 | 7 | N/A | N/A | 7 |
| 2023-24 | Redacted | Redacted | Redacted | 8 |
| 2022-23 | Redacted | Redacted | 0 | 8 |
"Redacted" indicates small counts (1-5) suppressed for privacy. Suspension data reflects systemic patterns as much as individual school decisions. Always consider ENI context.

Data Limitations
- Only 2 years of Impact Score data available (2023-24, 2024-25)
- Impact Score methodology not fully disclosed by NYC DOE
- Cannot determine causation - only patterns and correlations
- No student mobility data (selection effects cannot be ruled out)
- Many schools change category year-over-year
