What New Visions for Public Schools Inc does
Mission
Improving the quality of education in nyc public schools and ensuring that all students have access to effective schools that enable them to graduate from high school fully prepared for college and career.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Systems and data analytics ("sysdaar") builds school management tools that provide actionable information and insights that help school staff make plans for student success, track the implementation of those plans, and provide targeted support when students need it. The organization works to empower those closest to students - especially principals, teachers, and counselors - to be data-driven decision-makers and powerful actors in improving student outcomes. The organization additionally works with the nycdoe to develop district-level tools that help central office staff, superintendents, and other key leaders within the district understand patterns of performance in schools they oversee and provide support where needed.

Additionally, the organization works with multiple subgroups of schools in its affinity and charter networks on grant-funded activities, including the college readiness network for school improvement, which focuses on establishing models for one-to-one check-ins between students and educators to help keep students on-track during ninth grade; and multiple efforts to support postsecondary advising and success,…

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 2018 to 2019, from $58M to $70M (+21%).
