Program
Metairie Park Country Day School's primary function is providing a comprehensive nonsectarian education to students in pre-k through twelth grade. The school is organized into three separate divisions: a lower school, middle school, and upper school. The lower school offers pre-kindergarten through fifth grade, while the middle school offers grades six through eight, and the upper school offers grades nine through twelve. Each school provides after school activities that cater specifically to the ages of the enrolled students. The lower school offers an after-school day care as well as an after-school homework clinic and other enrichment courses. Both the middle and upper schools offer students a wide range of extracurricular activities including athletic programs, music development programs , and community service programs. A total of 743 students were enrolled for the 2024-2025 school year, 270 of whom received financial assistance from the school. The school also has an early childhood division for children six weeks up to 4 years of age, and the total enrolled in this program were 124 children.

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 2024 to 2025, from $50M to $54M (+8%).
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 0% · 2018 0% · 2019 0% · 2021 8% · 2022 2% · 2023 0% · 2024 0% · 2025 10%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
15% of METAIRIE PARK COUNTRY DAY SCHOOL’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (23% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 10 funders to 16 funders, grant income fell $178k → $95k.
8 of 53 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 24% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $3.0M from 3 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest The Greater New Orleans Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money METAIRIE PARK COUNTRY DAY SCHOOL raised.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $479k arriving through sponsors registered in 8 states 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.
