THE READ · FREE SUMMARY
The Kiski School looks durable. The school holds only 17 months of operating cushion, unusually thin for a boarding school's residential capex load. Revenue runs 59% tuition-dependent (HiveCheck peer-group median 79%), moderate diversification with a meaningful endowment and contributions base. Staff compensation runs 34% of expenses, well below the peer median, worth understanding why. NACUBO Composite Financial Index: 6.4 / 10, strong.
The Kiski School reported $17.8M in revenue against $17.0M in expenses in fiscal year 2024, the most recent filing on record. Net assets stood at $24.5M — about 1.44x annual operating expense.
Operating margin landed at 4.8%, with 59.4% of revenue coming from tuition. Among same-size peers, that puts The Kiski School at the p54 on operating margin.
