Allen-Cochran Enterprises Inc. is a single-school charter district serving kindergarten through eighth grade in Maricopa County. Its one campus, the Center for Educational Excellence, is its only operating school. The district serves a student body that is majority white, with a substantial Hispanic enrollment and smaller shares of Black, multiracial, Native American, and Asian students. Because this is a K-through-8 district, there is no high school graduation rate to report.
Academically, the district posted strong proficiency results across the tested grades in the most recent assessment year, with math and English language arts results that place its overall performance in the top quartile among Maricopa County's districts. In the early elementary grades, proficiency rates were notably high in both reading and math, and that strength continued through the upper elementary and middle school years, though with some variation by subject and grade. In fifth-grade science, half of students met the proficiency standard, which is a measure worth noting. The district's overall proficiency index sits well above the county median, and its chronic absenteeism rate is in the top quartile as well, meaning fewer students are missing substantial amounts of school compared with most other districts in the county.
Spending per pupil falls in the lower half of the middle range among county districts, which is not unusual for a small charter operation. The district serves kindergarten through eighth grade, so there is no high school program, no SAT or ACT data, and no college-going metrics. The student population is small, and the grade-level enrollments are modest, with the smallest groups in the upper middle school grades.
We looked for recent district changes or parent-relevant developments and found only basic directory and demographic information for this single-school charter district. No lasting, parent-relevant changes from recent years were identified. The district's location in Maricopa County places it in a large, varied metropolitan region with many schooling options, so families considering this district will want to evaluate whether its elementary-through-middle-school configuration and its particular academic profile fit their needs. The data show a district that is performing well on state assessments relative to its county peers, with low chronic absenteeism, but the lack of information about free or reduced-price lunch eligibility, special education services, and English learner support means a parent may want to inquire directly about those areas.
