|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023-24 | $3,586 | $13,515 | $5,645 | $7,870 |
PTA income primarily reflects parent wealth, not school quality. Some schools have very active PTAs while others raise very little.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024-25 | Redacted | Redacted | Redacted | 7 |

| 2022-23 | Redacted | 10 | Redacted | 15 |
"Redacted" indicates small counts (1-5) suppressed for privacy. Suspension data reflects systemic patterns as much as individual school decisions. Always consider ENI context.
