Overview
Mission
E A Young Academy is a not-for-profit, private academy developing innovative, problem solving, compassionate stewards of our global community.
What it reported doing in 2024
Education: E A Young Academy is a K-12, not-for-profit private academy dedicated to the gifted, talented and high ability scholar. It currently serves 74 scholars, drawing from an approximately 15 mile radius. The student population is a diverse community of learners including african american, asian, hispanic, caucasian and multi-racial families. The primary mechanism used to measure scholar growth is through the administration of the Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) testing. This is a computerized, adaptive test that adjusts the difficulty of the questions to the level of the scholar. The majority of our scholar's results show a high growth rate coupled with a high achievement rate. Further information is available upon request.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Other-operating. 89% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
