Prentiss Christian School

Prentiss Christian School is burning the cushion faster than the 3-month buffer suggests. Expenses are outpacing revenue 17.0% vs 2.0% per year over three years, and the latest operating margin is -19.6% on a 99% tuition-dependent revenue mix. Covering the deficit at today's rate, reserves would last roughly 15 more months — the full budget, by contrast, is covered for about 3 months if every revenue line stopped. The board conversation here is the recovery plan for the operating model and the timeline to break-even. NACUBO Composite Financial Index: -0.6 / 10, distressed.
