Overview

Mission

Provide educational and support services to developmentally disabled children and adolescents ages birth to 22 years of age; be a community resource for children and adolescents with developmental disabilities; and provide daycare, after school and other related services to children and adolescents of the community, including operating charter schools.

What it reported doing in 2024

The school provides educational and support services to developmentally disabled children by operating a charter school. There were 100 students enrolled in pre-k through 5th grade classes. Educational services were provided during the school year in accordance with local public school calendar.

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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and expenses are high relative to revenue.
