Overview

Mission

To provide a learning environment that allows our students to develop their potential, prepare them for post secondary education and / or the work force and collaborate with community agencies, organizations and institutions to meet our students needs.

What it reported doing in 2024

Serve the at-risk student population currently enrolled, or those who have been previously enrolled in public school systems located in southeastern Louisiana through a standards-based, flexible computer curriculum.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 97% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and liabilities are high compared with assets.
