Overview

Mission

Private School

What it reported doing in 2024

Elementary and Secondary Education: The school provided an education for ~300 students in grades K3 through 12th grade. The school has also provided a hot lunch program and after school care for the students.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 93% of the money available for current operations came from other operating 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.
