Mission
The mission of Felton Laboratory Charter School is to provide a rigorous, creative, and diverse learning environment through science, technology, engineering, the arts, and mathematics. This interdisciplinary approach will allow students to creatively study and examine the roles all disciplines play in shaping the circumstances that affect human life by operating as forces that influence scientific research, technological innovation and engineer human affairs. Students will learn how to become preliminary analysts of these interactions and develop probable solutions for some of the most pressing issues of the 21st century. Through this learning environment, they will have the unique advantages to understand the impact of technological innovation on their lives as they acquire keen awareness of ills that plague society and impact their personal worlds.

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 2017 to 2018, from $2.1M to $5.8M (+169%).
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.
