PTA Financial Summary
| Year | Beginning Balance | Income | Expenses | Ending Balance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022-23 | $0 | $1,500 | $1,350 | $150 |
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 | 44 | 13 | Redacted | Redacted |
| 2023-24 | 15 | 9 | N/A | 24 |
| 2022-23 | 18 | Redacted | Redacted | 21 |
"Redacted" indicates small counts (1-5) suppressed for privacy. Suspension data reflects systemic patterns as much as individual school decisions. Always consider ENI context.

- 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
