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 | 19 | 8 | Redacted | Redacted |
| 2023-24 | Redacted | 10 | Redacted | 53 |
| 2022-23 | 21 | 12 | 6 | 39 |
"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
