Review for St. Joseph's Indian School, Chamberlain, SD, USA
I suggest you read this piece from Charity Watch about 25 years of nonaccountability from St. Joseph's Indian School, which refuses to provide audited financial statements. See

Thank you for your comment. St. Joseph’s is not required to file a form 990 by the IRS. Because of this, Charity Navigator will not rate our organization. St. Joseph’s Indian School is accredited by the Council on Accreditation (COA). This accreditation process examines finances, governance, ethics, appropriateness of services and more. Through the Council on Accreditation’s extensive audit process, we receive evaluation by a panel of experts in social service fields. The evaluation, including site visits and interviews with St. Joseph’s staff and families served, assesses more than just finances. In addition, St. Joseph’ is an accredited educational facility by the State of South Dakota.
