What Riverbank Charter School of Excellence does
Mission
The Mission of Riverbank Charter School of Excellence is to provide students with opportunities to develop their intellectual, emotional, and social potential through the implementation of a dynamic curriculum that fosters learning through a cooperative effort involving home, school, and community. By all three working together, students can attain their maximum potential as critical thinkers, lifelong learners, and responsible, contributing citizens in a rapidly changing pluralistic society. With this is the belief that children learn best when the significant adults in their lives - parents, teachers and community members - work together to encourage and support their development. As such, we believe that parental involvement in a child's education is paramount.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

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 $678k to $1.7M (+152%).
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.
