One independent A+ to F grade from four published criteria, each scored separately from IRS filings and combined by weight.
B
★★★★
Rated on 2 of 4 criteria — the rest aren't reported in this filing type.
Held down by its weakest criterion — a strong score on one criterion can't hide a weak one.
How the rating works →—Program efficiency40% of the ratingNo expense breakdown in filings
Measures how much of every dollar spent actually reaches programs, plus what it costs to raise $100 of donations. The worse of the two measures sets the letter (85%+ to programs is an A; under $15 to raise $100 is an A), averaged over the three most recent filings. Not scored for Adopt-a-classroom Inc— this filing type doesn't report it, and the rating simply skips it (never counts it against the organization). See the exact thresholds →
AFinancial health25% of the rating13 mo reserves · +7% margin

For Adopt-a-classroom Inc: 13 mo reserves · +7% margin earns a A on this criterion. See the exact thresholds →

Not scored for Adopt-a-classroom Inc— this filing type doesn't report it, and the rating simply skips it (never counts it against the organization). See the exact thresholds →
