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 | 50 | 42 | 8 | 100 |
| 2023-24 | Redacted | 46 | Redacted | 140 |
| 2022-23 | 94 | 51 | 11 | 156 |
"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
