School Financial Health Report Card

How to read this: Grades are relative, not absolute — a school's score is its percentile rank against whichever comparison group is active (all 86 Jewish day schools, or narrowed to just Non-Orthodox or Orthodox), so grades shift as you change groups or weights. Click a grade chip above (or a segment of the bar) to see just that band. Operating margin, tuition discount, and enrollment trend are averaged over up to 3 years (2023–24 to 2025–26); figures NAIS/Prizmah suppress at the individual-school level (raw balance sheets, reported surplus/deficit, tuition-discount detail) are reconstructed here from income and expense totals rather than pulled directly. Head-of-school tenure comes from IRS Form 990 filings (2017–2024), name-matched to the roster by hand for 25 of these 86 schools — treat it as illustrative, not comprehensive. Margolin Hebrew Academy and Kohelet Yeshiva High School (the two benchmarking "focus schools" that ran these exports) are excluded — their own submissions didn't include the financial totals needed to score them. Four rows with clear data-entry errors (donation or expense figures off by orders of magnitude) were also corrected using the same screens already documented in the HLM analysis file.
