Overview
Mission
To provide each student with a traditional education supported by the teaching of Christian principles and values. At Prentiss Christian, we believe that the foundation of a Christian education is the greatest gift parents can provide for their children. Beginning with the Pre K3 & K4 programs through our elementary classes from grades K - 6, our students are engaged in learning through high quality instruction from a Christian perspective. When students enter grades 7-12, they begin preparing to be college & career ready. As they begin to advance academically, they are met with a rigorous course of study allowing them to earn Carnegie-unit credits toward graduation. Students can also bolster their college & career readiness by enrolling in dual-credit college courses through Pearl River Community Colleg.
What it reported doing in 2024
Operation of a private school providing education and athletic opportunities for students from grades k3 through 12. Students are offered a superior education based on intellectual, spiritual, social, moral and physical development. Prentiss christian school enrollment for 2020-2021 ranged from 120-150 throughout the school year for grades k3 through 12.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 99% 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
