Original Research by School Decision on Masada Charter School Inc. (79499)
Masada Charter School Inc. is a single-school district in Mohave County, Arizona, serving kindergarten through ninth grade. It is a small district, with an enrollment that is small for its grade band. The student body is overwhelmingly white, with a very small number of Hispanic students and no representation from other racial or ethnic groups reported. Data on the share of students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, receive special education services, or are English learners was not available.
The district’s academic performance on the 2024-25 state assessments is a clear strength. In English language arts, proficiency rates across grades three through eight were consistently strong, with several grades reaching a high level of proficiency. Math proficiency was also solid across most grades, though it showed more variation, with the lower middle grades performing at a moderate level and eighth grade dipping to a more moderate result. In science, proficiency was strong at both tested grades. When compared with other districts in Mohave County, Masada Charter School’s overall proficiency across subjects and grades placed it in the top quartile. This is a district where academic results are a clear draw.
The district’s chronic absenteeism rate was low relative to other districts in the county, placing it in the top quartile for that measure. That suggests most students attend school regularly, which supports the academic environment.
Per-pupil spending was in the lower range among Mohave County districts. A parent may want to ask how the school allocates its resources, particularly given the strong academic outcomes.
The district consists of a single school, Masada Charter School, which is listed as open. The school serves kindergarten through ninth grade, meaning it does not offer the full high school experience through twelfth grade. Families who enroll here will need to plan for a transition to another school after ninth grade. No information was available on the school’s charter status, magnet status, or Title I status. Data on special education and English learner populations was also missing, so a parent with a child who may need those services should inquire directly.
The district’s per-pupil spending was in the lower range among Mohave County districts. The chronic absenteeism rate was low, placing it in the top quartile for that measure, which is a positive indicator for school climate and student engagement.
No parent-relevant changes, such as boundary adjustments, program launches, or leadership transitions, were identified in publicly available sources. The district appears to be operating without recent major shifts that would affect a family’s decision.
For a family considering this district, the academic results are the central draw. The school serves a narrow grade band, ending at ninth grade, so a transition plan for high school is necessary. The student body is almost entirely white, and the school is small. The low chronic absenteeism rate and strong proficiency numbers suggest a focused academic environment. A parent should confirm the availability of special education and English learner services, as that data was not reported.
