What Eagle Academy Public Charter School does
Mission
On august 20, 2024, the school's board of trustees (the board) voted to relinquish the school's charter and the school is currently going through dissolution. The school had suffered significant losses from operations due to declining enrollment. During the years ended june 30, 2024 and 2023, the school had losses of approximately $5.0 million and $1.4 million, respectively, as expenses continued to outpace revenue. Effective august 20, 2024, the school's basis of accounting changed to the liquidation basis of accounting.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
The school provides educational opportunities to poor and disadvantaged children from preschool to third grade in poverty impacted households and economically distressed communities in the district of columbia. The school seeks to develop a solid academic foundation for each student through an infusion of learning technology that all students and teachers use in the classroom.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $36M to $29M (−21%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 95% · 2018 96% · 2019 93% · 2020 19% · 2021 17% · 2022 25% · 2023 40% · 2024 21%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

96% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund EAGLE ACADEMY PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOL.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $12k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
