What Oxford Preparatory Academy does
Mission
We believe that all students are unique and gifted individuals. We are committed to working collaboratively to develop life-long learners in a safe and caring educational environment where students are challenged, scholarship is expected, and differences are valued.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Oxford Preparatory Academy (opa) operates three (3) public charter schools serving students in transitional kindergarten through grade eight: opa - south orange county, opa - saddleback valley, and opa - middle school. Opa's vision is to create a center for higher learning where students from transitional kindergarten to eighth grade are prepared to pursue university level academic studies, as well as gain skills to be successful in the global community of the 21st century. Our students do not just meet, but exceed grade level expectations and become critical thinkers as they engage with dynamic teaching that makes them self-motivated, competent, and lifelong learners

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 2022 to 2023, from $10M to $14M (+41%).
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 96% · 2018 93% · 2019 98% · 2020 90% · 2021 99% · 2022 99% · 2023 99% · 2024 98% · 2025 97%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
