Overview

Mission

Parent Community Organization brings in various enrichment to the school to support arts, enrichment, school community events, support faculty and staff with appreciation initiatives, student and staff grants to fund programs and support families in need.

Student/Community Give Back Events: PCO sponsored student/family events including student dances/socials, welcome back to school family social, student/family nights at roller rinks, bowling events and other events free of cost to students and families. Approximately 800 students plus families.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 71% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 93% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
