The data indicates that the debt-to-capital ratio for Scholastic Corporation has consistently remained at zero across multiple reporting periods, spanning from August 31, 2020, through May 31, 2025. This persistent zero value suggests that the company has maintained an entirely equity-based capital structure throughout this timeframe, with no reported debt obligations. Such a financial profile implies that Scholastic Corporation has not utilized leverage to finance its operations or growth initiatives within these periods. The absence of debt also points toward a conservative approach to capital structure management, potentially reducing financial risk associated with leverage, but also possibly limiting growth opportunities that debt financing might facilitate.
