THE READ · FREE SUMMARY
The York School is burning the cushion faster than the 20-month buffer suggests. Expenses are outpacing revenue 2.6% vs -2.8% per year over three years, and the latest operating margin is -15.2% on a 80% tuition-dependent revenue mix. Covering the deficit at today's rate, it would take more than a decade to exhaust reserves — the full budget, by contrast, is covered for about 1.7 years 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: 2.9 / 10, watch.
The York School reported $8.5M in revenue against $9.8M in expenses in fiscal year 2023, the most recent filing on record. Net assets stood at $16.4M — about 1.67x annual operating expense.
Operating margin landed at -15.2%, with 80.3% of revenue coming from tuition. Among same-size peers, that puts The York School at the p0 on operating margin.
