Provide a vehicle for support of, and communication from its members so that each site can implement a successful model of collaborative education to serve at-risk learners.

What it reported doing in 2025

These small high schools, located on community college campuses around the country, aim to decrease the high scholls dropout rate and increase the college-going and completion rate

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 91% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
