Overview

Mission

Village Creek Academy is a 6-12 grade school with a specialized focus of agricultural education. VCA desires to admit students who would not otherwise have access to the special curricular focus of agriculture and who are less likely to transition successfully into adulthood without additional support and guidance. VCA specializes in a student population that may have experienced challenges navigating through a more traditional method of education and desires more hands-on learning that is inquiry and performance-oriented.

What it reported doing in 2023

VCA is still in the exploratory stage of starting the school so we have only put together the group to explore how to start the school.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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 reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
