Original Research by School Decision on Phoenix Advantage Charter School Inc. (4338)
Phoenix Advantage Charter School Inc. is a single-school charter district in Maricopa County, Arizona, and it no longer operates. The district’s only school, Phoenix Advantage Charter School, closed in 2023 and is listed as inactive. Families looking for an active school in this area will need to turn to other public or charter options.
The school served elementary and middle grades, and state testing data is available from the 2021-22 school year, its last year before closure. Across tested grades, proficiency rates in both math and English language arts were well below typical levels for Maricopa County. Many grade-level results were suppressed because the number of tested students was too small to report publicly, which itself reflects a very small enrollment. Where results were reported, the share of students scoring proficient or above was low in every grade and subject. The district’s overall proficiency index, combining all tested grades and subjects, placed it in the bottom quartile among the county’s districts. This means a large majority of Maricopa County’s districts posted higher academic outcomes that year.
No other academic or operational data was available. Information on enrollment size, student demographics, economic disadvantage, special education, English learner services, staffing, discipline, and spending were all absent from the record. Without those figures, it is not possible to describe the student body or support structures the school provided. The district’s closure means any such data would be historical in any case.
The district’s sole school is no longer an option for families. The available test results offer a snapshot of a very small school whose academic performance trailed most other districts in the county before it shut down. Parents and residents researching school choices in this part of Maricopa County should look to other active districts and charter schools in the area.
