PTA income primarily reflects parent wealth, not school quality. Some schools have very active PTAs while others raise very little.
Discipline (Suspensions)

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024-25 | N/A | 20 | 26 | 46 |

"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

- 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
