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

"Redacted" indicates small counts (1-5) suppressed for privacy. Suspension data reflects systemic patterns as much as individual school decisions. Always consider ENI context.
