The debt-to-equity ratio for Scholastic Corporation has remained consistently at zero across multiple reporting periods, including from August 31, 2020, through February 28, 2025. This indicates that the company has not reported any interest-bearing debt during this entire timeframe. The zero ratio suggests that Scholastic is financed entirely through equity, with no reliance on debt financing. Consequently, the company's capital structure appears to be entirely equity-based, reflecting a conservative financial approach with minimal financial leverage. This stability over multiple periods points to a perception of low financial risk from a leverage perspective, although it also implies that the company has not engaged in borrowing to finance growth or operations during this period.
