Troll Control:
--- Quote from: ""Guest"" ---HLA's Possible Income Scenario from 2000 - 2006:
Let's just say: 50 Peer Groups over 6 years.
Average Peer Group size: 15 kids
Total Number of kids: 750
Alleged Retention rate: 40%; 750 x .40 = 300 graduates
Average yearly tuition 2000: $5,000 x 19 months = $95,000
Average yearly tuition 2006: $5,950 x 19 months = $113,050
Average yearly tuition 2000 - 2006 = $104,025
Average income from graduates alone: $31,207,500 ($104,025 x 300 students)
Mandatory 3 month pre-paid tuition = $16,425
Non-graduates: 450
Average income from pre-paid tuition from non-graduates = $7,391,250 ($16,425 x 450 non-graduates)
Average stay of non-graduates: 12 months
Tuition from non-graduates: $29,565,000 (12 months x 450 kids x $5475)
Cumulative income from all students (graduates and non-graduates): $68,163,750
Average yearly income over 6 years: $11,360,625
CURRENT yearly income (2006): $14,687,250
Note: These estimates do not include extra fees such as toiletries, shipping, etc.

Well, this is a pretty good ballpark figure. I have examined HLA's tax returns for last year and a few previous years.
HLA's stated income is about $10milion per year. Now, keep in mind that there are three entities, not just Hidden Lake Academy, Inc. The other entities made money as well, although significantly less than the main corporation.

and that income is JUST from tuition.

I can't believe that more about the dissapearing chapel fund wasnt brought into light about by the List of Complaints. I think it was mentioned, what, once? Thats been going on since before I even got there (2002) and I know parents have been contributing to that fund prolificly. Where the hell has all that money gone? That is en EXTREMELY large amount of money to just dissapear into Bucci's realm of INC's.

When my kid was there in 2003 they had "grandparents weekend." They made a huge pitch for the chapel fundand I remember seeing all the grandparents pull out their checkbooks...
It makes my skin crawl.
