Overview

Mission

The mision of John P Holland Charter School is to promote student achievement and learning through a rich educational program. Our program prepares students to participate academically and civilly in the world.

What it reported doing in 2024

The Charter School was founded on the understatnding that students have ownership and resposibility for their own educational processes and their future. Accordingly, the curriculum was established using effective research based education practice, hands -on, problem based service learning adventures and grade appropriate core academic materials with a particular focus on the NJ Core Curriculum Content Standards. For the year the educational program was designed to meet the diverse needs of individual students, including At Risk.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 94% 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 - 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 expenses are high relative to revenue.
