|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022-23 | $2,628 | $13,421 | $9,925 | $3,496 |
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 | Redacted | 6 | 8 | Redacted |
| 2023-24 | N/A | 9 | 6 | 15 |
| 2022-23 | Redacted | Redacted | 8 | 11 |
"Redacted" indicates small counts (1-5) suppressed for privacy. Suspension data reflects systemic patterns as much as individual school decisions. Always consider ENI context.
